Cesium by the Ocean: Improving the analysis of environmental samples from the Fukushima Province
Ralf Sudowe Professor of Radiochemistry & Health Physics Colorado State University The goal of radioanalytical chemistry is to identify and quantify radioisotopes present in a variety of samples. It combines advanced radiochemical separations with state-of-the art radiation detection techniques and provides information on the origin, speciation, and mobility of the material. It plays an important…
Nuclear Engineering Opportunities at Los Alamos National Laboratory
3105 Etcheverry Hall 3105 Etcheverry Hall, BerkeleyIN-PERSON ONLY Dr. John Sarrao Deputy Director Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos' partnership with UC Berkeley pre-dates the start of the Manhattan Project and continues robustly today. Nevertheless, the National Labs in general, and Los Alamos in particular, are relatively unknown to many students (and faculty) in academia. This presentation provides an overview of…
RadWatch & DoseNet: building scientific literacy through a network of radiation and environmental sensors
3105 Etcheverry Hall 3105 Etcheverry Hall, Berkeley**In-Person only** Ali Hanks Lecturer and Assistant Project Scientist in Nuclear Engineering University of California, Berkeley The 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident serves as an example of the risks associated with energy technologies and the need to minimize physical as well as psychological effects on local and global communities. We have established the…
