The impact of low and intermediate-level radioactive waste on humans and the environment over the next one hundred thousand years
Abstract In order to assess the potential radiological risk to humans and the environment from a geological repository for radioactive waste, a safety assessment must be performed. This implies that the release and transfer of radionuclides from the ...

Antipodal acoustic thermometry: 1960, 2004
Abstract On 21 March 1960, sounds from three 300-lb depth charges deployed at 5.5-min intervals off Perth, Australia were recorded by the SOFAR station at Bermuda. The recorded travel time of these signals, about 13,375s, is a historical measure of...
