Next-Generation Radioactive Waste Treatment and Long-Term Containment Strategies
Abstract: *Author for Correspondence Sri Charitha Annam E-mail: [email protected] The safe management and disposal of radioactive waste is one of the most critical unsolved challenges in the continued development and use of nuclear energy. Radioactivity is the emission of energy from a radioactive material. Most of the time, this energy is used for power, medical, and industrial purposes. Unfortunately, all this use of energy gives rise to its waste. The impact …

Hazardous Effect of Radioactive Pollution on Environment and Their Possible Preventive Measures
Abstract: Radioactive pollution is the release of radioactive substances or high-energy particles into the air, water, or earth as a result of human activity, either by accident or by design. Radioactive contamination, also called radiological contamination, is the deposition of, or presence of radioactive substances on surfaces or within solids, liquids or gases (including the human body), where their presence is unintended or undesirable (from the International Atomic Energy Agency - …

Analytical Application of Radioactive Analysis
Abstract: A radioactive tracer, or radioactive label, is a chemical compound in which one or more atoms have been replaced by a radioisotope so by virtue of its radioactive decay it can be used to explore the mechanism of chemical reactions by tracing the path that the radioisotope follows from reactants to products. Keywords: radioactive tracer, chemical analysis, radioisotopes, atoms and molecules

Hazard Testing and Decomposition of Nuclear Wastes
Abstract: Nuclear garbage disposal is simple and may be done practically any place in a safe manner. Used fuel is typically stored for at least five years under water and subsequently in dry storage. The best solution for eventual disposal of the most radioactive waste produced is deep geological disposal, according to most experts. Industries such as mining, nuclear power generating, defence, medicine, and certain forms of scientific research produce radioactive …

Serendipitous Medicines-Discoveries by Chance
Abstract: Discovery is nothing but the art of finding something. In the medical history, number of discoveries happened by chance. These happy accidental discoveries are well known as serendipity, a word coined by Horace Walpore. Serendipity is a pleasant surprise of finding a particularly useful information while not looking for it. There is interesting well known serendipitous drug discoveries in medical science such as penicillin, cephalosporin, aspirin, nitrous oxide, and sildenafil …

Nucleotides from radio-activated wastes
Abstract: AbstractThis article summarizes some formatives over waste generation in atomic reactors. Sponge or foam ceramics-in-glasses are used to entrap waste radio-nuclear products to dispose-in-pose scripture for other forms. Filtering has well known method to separate solid radio-in-nuclide forms from liquids even though inertia modes of resisting method has suggestive approaches to activate separation of particles by mass from sensing systems. Analysis of wastes has showed either ceramic particulates or particle …

Value Addition of Quartz Gemstones through Gamma Irradiation
Abstract: Color enhancement of gemstones through gamma irradiation is an established technology throughout the world. By value addition, the traders earned manifold prices to these colorless stones as compared to the fresh ones. For the color enhancement of these semi-precious stones, optimized doses of irradiations are required. To get the optical properties of the stones and to investigate the crystal lattice and chemical composition, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray …

Phytoremediation: Its Background and Global Scenario
Abstract: Phytoremediation is an evolving in situ remediation technology that utilizes plants to clean polluted soil, groundwater and wastewater. Phytoremediation is defined as that branch of science that utilizes inherent abilities of green plants to remove, contain, or render harmless environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, metalloids, organic compounds, trace elements, and radioactive substances present in soil or water. The plants used in this technology include trees, shrubs, grasses and even …

Study of Groundwater and Surface Water Remediation
Abstract: Groundwater remediation is the process of treating contaminated groundwater by removing contaminants or converting them to harmless chemicals. Water that saturates the pore space in the subsurface and is located beneath the ground surface is known as groundwater. Between 25% and 40% of the world's drinking water comes from boreholes and dug wells. Farmers need groundwater to irrigate crops, while industry use it to make everyday items. Even though most …

Review Paper on Solid Waste Management in India
Abstract: Solid waste management is a major problem in urban areas of India. It is due to large urbanization, industrialization, and increasing population. The solid waste management systems ranked very poorly in India over the last few decades. Approximately 90% of residual waste is dumped instead of its proper landfilling. The solid waste management system should be improved in India because it will be beneficial for our future generations and the …

How About Bacteria as Memory Card for Data Storage
Abstract: The word “bacteria” comes from the Greek word “Bakteria” which means “little sick”. The word was first used by German naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. In fact, he was the first person who coined the term. Bacteriuma basically is a biological cell, mostly prokaryotic microorganisms in nature, having a few micrometers length and, different shapes like sphere, rods, spirals, etc. Bacteria can be found in the soil, water, hot springs, Chernobyl …
