Land Mines & Ordnance Lessons & Databases
unexploded ordnance, or UXO, poses an even greater threat to people’s safety. UXO comprises bombs, mortars, grenades, missiles or other devices that fail to detonate on impact but remain volatile and can kill if touched or moved. Some of the main sources of UXO are cluster bombs. Today, mine-action programmes typically address problems of landmines, UXO and “explosive remnants of war,” which includes UXO and “abandoned ordnance,” or weapons left behind by armed forces when they leave an area…” For more information see
detect landmines in the field. Challenges include distinguishing mines from clutter, detecting mines containing very little metal and those mines buried deeply. The HD R&D; Program is assisting deminers by developing advanced technologies to improve the capability to detect low-metal mines, and at the same time, discriminate these mines from metallic clutter…” Mental Health Related Centers FOR MENTAL HEALTH ATLASES, CASES, COURSES, DATABASES, JOURNALS, TEXTBOOKS, LESSONS, VIDEOS, ETC.

exposed to a known amount of uranium and/or its decay products. For a variety of nuclide mixes found in the nuclear fuel industry, this calculator covers ingestion, inhalation, external exposure from contaminated soil, and external exposure from a point source. Calculations can not only be performed for actual exposure situations, but also for future scenarios, taking decay and ingrowth of decay products into account…” Uranium Radiation Individual Dose Calculator INPUT Values include:
Parameters (Ore Grade, Natural Uranium, Recycled Uranium, etc.); Exposure Parameters
Rate (Per Day, Per Year, Per Liter Water, Ounce, etc.); Dose Factor; Decay; etc. For more information see
the front-end of the nuclear fuel cycle. These calculators serve to make the basics of the nuclear fuel industry more transparent. Though designed for educational purposes, they are believed to be scientifically correct – to the degree achievable with limited resources. Each calculator is accompanied by a Help file, describing the calculation procedure and the parameters used, and any assumptions and simplifications made…” For more information see the
