Radioactive Decay Calculations

1. What can I expect to be present in my 100 g bottle of uranyl acetate (that is marked with a  date of 1968) and which I have just found in a cupboard!
2. Working with uranium ore – how equilibrium calculations are needed so I can model inhalation / ingestion doses in my IRR17 radiation risk assessment.
3. The complications of chemical / physical partitioning in the environment.
4. I have a basement store containing a load of radium luminised articles. How do the physical properties of radium-226, and associated decay products, affect equilibrium & disequilibrium in this decay chain and what impact does this have on the doses my staff could receive when accessing and decommissioning this room?

Chris Murdock is a certificated radiation protection adviser and radioactive waste adviser with more than 20 years’ experience in this field. Chris originally specialised in environmental radioactivity with his PhD and post-doctoral research, looking at the use of the uranium-238 decay series & Chernobyl derived radionuclides as tracers of environmental processes.  These research applications have proven invaluable to Chris as he stepped into the world of the RPA and RWA.
