Experimental Deployment of Wireless Sensor Network for Radiation Monitoring
Abstract: To understand and predict the chemical behavior of fuels, coolants, fission products and structural materials Radio Chemistry Laboratory (RCL) has been established at Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research. RCL has structured facilities like hot cells, lead mini cells, radioactive sodium chemistry loops, glove boxes, etc., in which radioactive materials are being handled. This necessitates the radiation monitors to be placed in various locations of RCL to ensure that the …

Recent Development to Track Contraband using Muon
Abstract: The muon is one of nature’s fundamental particles discovered in 1937 by Carl Anderson. A muon is an elementary subatomic particle similar to electron, but with a mass approximately 207 times greater and, sometimes it is called as a “heavy electron”. Muons are generated naturally when cosmic rays collide with atoms in earth’s upper atmosphere and, then raining down all the times upon the surface of earth. Muons can be …

Geochemometric Assessment of Primordial Radionuclides and Trace Elements in Coastal Sediments: Environmental and Radiological Implications for South India
Abstract: This study focuses on environmental radioactivity and trace element contamination in coastal sediments along the southern region of the Indian subcontinent, from the Palar River to Pulicat Lake. Utilizing gamma-ray spectroscopy with a NaI (Tl) detector, along with atomic absorption spectroscopy, the research examines the spatial distribution and activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides—namely, 238U, 232Th, and 40K—as well as trace elements such as Ni, Pb, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co, Fe, …
