BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:

Levels of radioactivity in contaminated buildings on nuclear licensed sites are measured in a variety of ways including surface monitoring, but the only method of analysis for alpha-emitting radioactivity in situ is with...
Funded by: Innovate UK
Lead research organisation: VIRIDIAN CONSULTANTS LIMITED
The project partially answers the question as it focuses on monitoring radioactivity in contaminated buildings on nuclear licensed sites, but does not specifically mention radioactive aerosol monitoring.
Decommissioning of radiactively contaminated structures is expensive , time consuming and hazardous. Conventional methods used to assess the best disposal route for radioactively contaminated concrete, brick, rubble etc ...

The project partially answers the question as it focuses on the analysis of radioactively contaminated surfaces, but does not specifically mention radioactive aerosol monitoring.
In the process of decommissioning of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants, a large amount of radioactive wastes such as fuel debris, structural materials, rubble, soil, and adsorbents for treating contaminated wat...
