TENORM


> MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT 
> The Second International Symposium on "Technologically
> Enhanced Natural Radioactivity" (TENR) will be held in Rio de
> Janeiro, Brazil on September 12-17, 1999.  This conference will
> examine the situations in which intentional or inadvertent concentrations
> of natural radionuclides are brought into position such that radiation
> exposures result.  Some of the more important industrial activities
> and products in this category include phosphate mineral processing, metal
> ore processing, zircon sands, titanium pigment production, oil and gas
> extraction, and building materials.  TENR II aims to bring together
> both established and young scientists working on radionuclides associated
> with non-nuclear industries to identify gaps in our present knowledge and
> to stimulate new ideas and approaches.  Some of the topics to be
> examined include: 
> … Processes of enhancement of
> natural radionuclides 
> … Radon and radon daughters in the
> environment 
> … Techniques of measurement 
> … Sources and effects of enhanced
> levels of radiation 
> … Radon and radium in natural waters
> and industrial waste streams 
> … Natural radionuclide mobility and
> transport 
> … Remediation and management of
> contaminated sites 
> Abstracts should be ¾300 words with author's complete names and
> addresses including telephone and email, and be sent before April 30,
> 1999 (see
> http://www.ird.gov.br/even1e.html
> for submittal instructions).
