Issue Date: | 2011 | Source: | Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM VI): Proceedings of an International Symposium, Marrakesh, Morocco, 22-26 March 2010, p. 286-293 | Abstract: | When nuclear inspections are conducted in the port of Antwerp, many alarms are triggered by NORM. This paper presents an overview and preliminary results of a study taking place in the port of Antwerp and at NORM handling companies. The study aims to get an overview of NORM transport in the port of Antwerp, including quantity, destination, dose rates and activity concentrations. Furthermore, a methodology is being developed to obtain an in situ estimation of the activity concentration of material in containment systems typically used in industry (shipping containers and bulk bags). The preliminary results of the assessment of this methodology are discussed. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13509 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/Pub1497_web.pdf | ISBN: | 978-92-0-113910-8 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | vabb 2014 |
