Radioactive particles have been released to the environment from
a number of sources, including nuclear weapon tests, nuclear
accidents and discharges from nuclear installations. Particle
characteristics influence the mobility, biological uptake and
effects of radionuclides, hence information on these
characteristics is essential for assessing environmental impact and
risks. This publication presents a series of papers covering
sources and source term characterisation, methodologies for
characterizing particles, and the impact of particles on the
behaviour of radioactive particles in the environment. Sources
covered include the Chernobyl accident, nuclear weapons accidents
at Thule and Palomares accident, the discharges from Dounreay and
Krashnoyarsk, and depleted uranium in Kosovo and Kuwait. The
overall aim is that an increased understanding of particle
characteristics and behavior will help to reduce some of the
uncertainties in environmental impact and risk assessment for
particle contaminated areas.
