Radiological hazards produced by Assiut Thermal Power Plant

The specialized book "Radiological Hazards from the Assiut Thermal Power Plant" offers a comprehensive analysis of the radiological dangers posed by the Assiut Thermal Power Plant (ATPP). It examines the effects of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and their technologically enhanced forms (TENORM) that are released through human activities such as energy production. The author, Mohamed Hasab, analyzes the concentrations of radionuclides such as 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in various samples, including crude oil, ash, and topsoil from the vicinity of the plant. Additionally, the concentrations of radionuclides in groundwater samples are investigated to provide a complete picture of the environmental impacts. This book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences who wish to address the challenges of radioactive contamination and its effects on the environment.
