Elsevier NUCLEAR RADIOACTIVE: MATERIALS IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY: Safety, Risk Assessment and Management

Military Veteran Reintegration: Approach, Management, and Assessment of Military Veterans Transitioning to Civilian Life offers a toolkit for researchers and practitioners on best practices for easing the reintegration of military veterans returning to civilian society. It lays out how transition occurs, identifies factors that promote or impede transition, and operationalizes outcomes associated with transition success. Bringing together experts from around the world to address the most important aspects of military transition, the book looks at what has been shown to work and what has not, while also offering a roadmap for best-results moving forward. Review Solid scientific platform that reveals important scientific theories and risk assessments surrounding naturally occurring radioactive materials in the oil and gas industry From the Back Cover Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Nuclear Radioactive Materials (TENORM) in the Oil and Gas Industry comprehensively introduces TENORMs generated from various types of oil and gas processes and their associated adverse human health effects, discusses effective TENORM waste management strategies, and develops a quantitative risk analysis framework for TENORM exposure assessment. It thoroughly investigates and identifies current knowledge and technical gaps associated with the presence of TENORM in the oil and gas industry and addresses the three main gaps identified from the available studies: 1) workers in the industry face a great risk of being exposed to radioactivity; 2) high volumes of TENORM waste are generated daily and have become a serious concern as another source of radiation exposure; 3) the lack of a uniform international safety regulations designed to manage risks and their inability to provide enough protection for public health and the environment. Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Nuclear Radioactive Materials (TENORM) in the Oil and Gas Operation offers researchers, scientists, and graduate and undergraduate students a comprehensive and well-researched reference starting with fundamental concepts, problem identification, and solutions development. This book is an ideal comprehensive guideline for professionals involved to the oil and gas industry and nuclear industry who are concerned about radiological issues.
