Radioiodine Release and Radiation Transport Relationship

Investigating the correlation between the amount of radioactive material (radioiodine-131) transported and the radiation released during transportation. Understanding nuclear radiation, its risks, and containment strategies to enhance safety. Analyzing radioiodine half-life, radiation effects, containment accidents, health impacts, and methods for retention. Study includes statistical tests and suggestions for future research.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Radioactive Release and Transportation of Radioiodine

  2. What is the relationship between the amount of radioactive material (radioiodine 131) transported and the amount of radiation released during transportation? • Nuclear radiation can be harmful • Important source of power, with downfalls • Maximize safety

  3. Sources • 1. “Fission Product Transportation.” • Containment vessel properties and mass of iodine released • 2. "Moderation of Radioiodine From Containment Accidents." • Radioiodine 131 half life • 3. "Biological Effects of Radiation." • Radiation dosage effects • 4. "Adult Human Biomass." • Human masses by area • 5. “Evaluation of Methods For Retention of Radioiodine” • Radioiodine absorption information • 6. “Monitoring of Radioiodine from Containment Accidents” • Radioiodine percentage in nuclear waste • 7. Health Effects of Radioiodine • Human effects of Radioiodine

  4. Results/Conclusions

  5. Calculations Spearman Test for correlation 0.96944800795022 Pearson’s correlation 0.965721510057638

  6. Ideas & Improvements • Different radioactive components, instead of iodine • More data to be plotted on graph
