Seminar Abstract

This Seminar provides a basic starting point for environmental management at nuclear facilities in the United States. The material provides a practical understanding of air sampling in nuclear power generating stations and other nuclear facilities such as waste processing and fuel fabrication plants.  An overview of the design considerations for the extraction of representative samples from stacks and ducts using ANSI N13.1-1999 (Sampling and Monitoring Releases of Airborne Radioactive Substances From the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear Facilities) is provided. In addition, operational aspects as they relate to the actual implementation of ANSI N13.1-1999 and the technical challenges as they relate to development of ANSI Standards for stacks, ducts and ambient air sampling will be discussed. A special topic, waste management as it relates to a commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing facility will be included. This special topic will include air, water and solid waste streams from fuel reprocessing.

 Brent Blunt 先生简介

Blunt（布朗特）先生在核设施流出物监测、环境影响评估、污染物扩散模拟等领域有30 多年工作经验。他曾在商业核电及美国政府核设施工作30年，现通过他自己的咨询公司提供技术咨询。他是美国国家标准研究院（ANSI）多个辐射监测标准的委员，直接参与了标准书写工作，这些标准包括：

• ANSI N13.1, “Sampling and Monitoring Releases of Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear Facilities”
• ANSI N13.56 “Sampling and Monitoring Releases of Airborne Radioactivity in the Workplace of Nuclear Facilities”
• ANSI N323C “Performance Criteria and Testing of Air Monitors”

同时，他还担任以下标准委员会的召集人：

• ANSI N13.61, “Sampling and Monitoring Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Ambient Atmosphere”。

此外，他还参与了美国环保署／能源部特别小组，开发了用于估算零星源及片源的辐射排放的技术方法指导。

        Blunt先生从美国伊利诺伊州Greenville College获化学学士学位，并从密西西比州立大学获化学工程硕士学位。

欢迎各位老师和同学参加！
