Activity concentrations of radionuclides in energy production from peat, wood chips and straw
Popular Abstract in Swedish Joniserande strålning- en introduktion (Ionizing radiation- Introduction in Swedish) 13.1 Storheter och enheter Effekten av strålningen från ett radioaktivt ämne eller röntgenapparat kallas stråldosen, eller egentligen den effektiva dosen , och anges i enheten sievert (Sv). Aktiviteten av ett radioaktivt ämne anges i enheten becquerel (Bq) och anger antal sönderfallanIn this thesis quantitative analyses of radionuclide concentrations in bioenergy fuels such as peat, wood chips and straw are presented. For comparison a brief description is included of radionuclide concentrations and radiation doses from other sources of power and also from some industrial applications. Radiation is a natural phenomenon and radionuclides occur naturally. The first man-made spre
