HYDROFRACKING & WATER

  What is the cost in contaminating our water? By Penelope Randall, Environmental Specialist, US Nuclear Corp Hydrofracking demands for water use is up 770 percent since 2011 according to a 2018 peer reviewed study out of Duke University. The use of millions of gallons of water and sand infused with up to 1,000 different toxic chemicals is used to fracture shale rock and release the trapped gas or oil. The wastewater, brine , and sludge are then returned to the surface and in need of disposal. Unfortunately, there is not yet a clear and safe method of disposal or storage. In many places this wastewater is reinjected into deep underground wastewater wells. There is mounting evidence that this method of disposal may be responsible for earthquakes and pollution of groundwater in some locations. The exponential growth of the hydrofracking industry and its practices constitutes a growing problem. Among these chemicals are radioactive isotopes which wastewater treatment plants...

Safety Through Aerial Robotics

The DroneSensor Series utilizes all-weather commercial heavy-lift UAVs with industrial-grade material designed for ease of use and quick deployment for radiation and chemical detection. The all-carbon-fiber frame construction gives the copter strength while making it incredibly lightweight. These UAVs are manufactured in a NATO country thus satisfying various U.S. government agencies’ security concerns. The commercial-grade brushless motors are highly efficient robust and offer hundreds of hours of worry-free flying. The DroneRad NEO is an octocopter with eight engines for redundancy and the ZOE quadcopter both have a folding frame for easy transporting. Other features include GPS position hold, automatic return to home, intelligent flight modes, and optional waypoint capability. All components are housed in a weatherproof canopy and both UVs are capable of flying in wind, rain, and snow. Wireless video downlink and flight telemetry overlay provide real-time data to the ground statio...

AIR POLLUTION MONITORING

  Air Pollution Monitor According to the World Health Organization, nine out of 10 people on Earth breathe polluted air, a number that contributes to millions of deaths every year.   Some of the most serious air pollutants are known as PM-2.5, small particles nearly 30 times finer than a human hair that get deep into lungs and even pass into the bloodstream. The ingestion of these particles is scientifically linked to aggravated asthma, respiratory illness and failure, irregular heartbeat and an increased chance of premature death in people with heart or lung disease.   Asia and Africa, areas of intense industrial development with heightened levels of fossil fuel consumption, have been particularly afflicted by PM-2.5 and other air pollutants, accounting for more than 90% of air pollution deaths worldwide.   In China alone, over a million people die each year due to extended air pollution exposure. As a result, the nation has started taking aggressive steps to reduce...

Detecting Radiation

Although many radioactive materials are silver-colored, metallic solids in their pure state, they can vary in color and exist in different physical states, including liquids and gases. They are also physically indistinguishable from other (nonradioactive) metals. In addition, ionizing radiation is not detectable by one's senses. It cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or felt. For these reasons, simple visual inspection is insufficient to identify radioactive materials, and radiation sources can be virtually impossible to recognize without special markings. To address these problems, scientists have developed the following four major types of instruments to detect and identify radioactive materials and ionizing radiation: Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) Handheld Survey Meter Radiation Isotope Identification Device (RIID) Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) A PRD is a wearable gamma and/or neutron radiation detector, approximately the size of a page...

Determining the Source of Stream Toxins with Continuous Monitoring

Determining Stream Toxins with Water Quality and Level Data When researcher Wesley Gerrin gained access to a sediment toxicity lab in the Experimental Forest on the University of Georgia campus, he wanted to investigate an on-campus lake for any potential contamination issues. After his research was completed, he was fortunate enough to have some extra grant funding for the addition of a few samples from any location on campus, so he chose one of the most exciting sites on the University premises: Tanyard Branch. As Wesley said, “We ran the tests, and everything looked good, except for Tanyard Branch.” Tanyard Branch has been one of the most heavily monitored creeks in the Athens-Clarke County area for the last couple of decades due to contamination - it has a long history of abuse beginning in the 1700s. Native Americans long used the area as hunting and fishing grounds, but it was eventually seized by colonists. The people who then settled into the area opened botanical gard...

North Carolina Radiation Protection Acquires Drone for Radiation Measurement

From left, Robert Goldstein of US Nuclear Corp , Lee Cox, Radiation Protection section chief and William Jeffries, Radiation Protection’s nuclear plant emergency response coordinator, adjust radiation detection sensors during the first day of drone training.      June 25, 2018  - After hours of tweaking the unit after assembly, North Carolina Radiation Protection’s drone was finally ready for its first test flight. “Everybody clear?” With a sound like a very large insect, the 45-pound drone took off, stirring up the corn leaves in the field below, culminating three years of work by Lee Cox and staff at the Radiation Protection Section to make this resource a reality.  The section, part of DHHS’ Division of Health Service Regulation, purchased the drone to send into potentially radioactive environments to collect data so human inspectors can remain a safe distance away.  North Carolina will be the first in the nation to use a drone for radiation detection. O...

Is Radioactive Hydrogen in Drinking Water a Cancer Threat?

The EPA plans to reevaluate standards for tritium in water : Add two additional neutrons to the lightest component and hydrogen gets radioactive, procuring the name tritium. Indeed, even before the Three Mile Island mishap in 1979 controllers stressed that this omnipresent side-effect of atomic reactors could represent a danger to human wellbeing. The U.S. Natural Protection Agency (EPA) was just seven years of age when it put the main principles on the books for tritium in 1977. Yet, a ton has occurred in the mediating many years, and it's difficult a more drawn out rundown of atomic mishaps.  The Chernobyl and Fukushima emergencies let free a lot of tritium, however so have an apparently perpetual series of breaks at maturing reactors in the U.S. what's more, somewhere else. Such holes have incited the EPA to report on February 4 intends to return to norms for tritium that has discovered its direction into water—purported tritiated water, or HTO—alongside hazard limits for si...

Tritium Water Monitor: Radiation in Water – A Real Risk

Water Quality Monitoring System The question when introducing US Nuclear Corp ’s real-time continuous water monitors to municipal water utilities is, ‘why do we need an instrument like this?  We don’t have radiation in our drinking water or waste water.’ Our question is how do you know if you don’t monitor the water.  Typical monitoring is 4 times a year per EPA’s Clean Water Act.  A water sample is pulled and sent to a lab for testing. Not a very timely or cost-effective method. Naturally occurring radiation is continuously leaking into our groundwater.  Whether water supplies are from surface water, rivers, reservoirs and lakes or groundwater, risk of radiation contamination, either deliberately or by accident, and the subsequent contamination of the population and of the infrastructure is very real today and increases as our technology advances. And what about Wastewater? With radioactive material being used so prolifically in today’s manuf...
