May Contain Nuts: Book 1 (The World of Norm)

Product Information

years ago there was a competition to see where readers were taking their World of Norm books. There were books in Hong Kong, Italy and Australia! Radioactive Waste in the Oil and Gas Industry, Safety Report Series No. 419, STI/PUB/1171 (ISBN: 9201140037) Jonathan Meres follows up May Contain Nuts and May Cause Irritation with another laugh-out-loud story about Norm, a boy who can’t understand why everything always seems unfair… Typically a soil cleanup level of 0.5 to 1 Bq/g is a goal, though for residential land in UK 0.1 Bq/g is the level required. Material above the target level is sent to landfill, and anything over 100 Bq/g needs to be buried. Heavy metals may be of more concern than radionuclides in such situations.Following the Fukushima accident large areas were contaminated mainly with caesium fallout. In 2016 the government announced that material with less than 8 Bq/g caesium would no longer be subject to restriction regarding disposal. Radon Exposure to naturally occurring radiation is responsible for the majority of an average person’s yearly radiation dose (see also Nuclear Radiation and Health Effects paper) and is therefore not usually considered of any special health or safety significance. However certain industries handle significant quantities of NORM, which usually ends up in their waste streams, or in the case of uranium mining, the tailings dam. Over time, as potential NORM hazards have been identified, these industries have increasingly become subject to monitoring and regulation. However, there is as yet little consistency in NORM regulations among industries and countries. This means that material which is considered radioactive waste in one context may not be considered so in another. Also, that which may constitute low-level waste in the nuclear industry might go entirely unregulated in another industry (see section below on recycling and NORM).

The World of Norm: May Contain Nuts: Book 1 - Waterstones

This book is such a laugh-out-loud, even if it can be VERY weird and slightly wrong some times. But then again, you can't blaim unfortunate Norm, even if he gets caught doing a wee in his mum and dad's closet! Over 95% of the market for zirconium requires it in the form of zircon (zirconium silicate). This mineral occurs naturally and is mined, requiring little processing. It is used chiefly in foundries, refractories manufacture and the ceramics industry. Zircons typically have activities of up to 10,000 Bg/kg of U-238 and Th-232. No attempt is usually made to remove radionuclides from the zircon as this is not economical. Because zircon is used directly in the manufacture of refractory materials and glazes, the products will contain similar amounts of radioactivity. Higher concentrations may be found in zirconia (zirconium oxide), which is produced by high temperature fusion of zircon to separate the silica. Zirconium metal manufacture involves a chlorination process to convert the oxide to zirconium chloride, which is then reduced to the metal. International Atomic Energy Agency, Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM VII): Proceedings of an International Symposium Beijing, China, 22-26 April 2013, STI/PUB/1664, ISBN 9789201040145 (January 2015) The EU encourages the use of NORM residues in building materials, subject to dose rate from gamma exposure being below 1 mSv/yr from them. Coal ash and smelting slag are an important constituent of building materials in China. Recycling and NORM The first four columns represent four of the 14 nuclides in the uranium decay series, the next two represent two of 10 in the thorium series. (For total activity in any coal, assume these are in serial equilibrium, hence multiply U-238 by 14 and Th-232 by 10, then add K-40.)

World of Norm) : Meres May Still Be Charged: Book 9 (The World of Norm) : Meres

NORM in the oil and gas industry poses a problem to workers particularly during maintenance, waste transport and processing, and decommissioning. In particular Pb-210 deposits and films, as a beta emitter, is only a concern when pipe internals become exposed. External exposure due to NORM in the oil and gas industry are generally low enough not to require protective measures to ensure that workers stay beneath their annual dose limits (such as set out by the IAEA basic safety standards). Internal exposures can be minimized by hygiene practices. Metals and smelting This is about a rude, 13 year old boy called Norman. While his family goes out to the place he dreads most, Ikea, he has to wait for a parcel... but he had already planned to go out biking with his friend, Mikey. What is he going to do?! IAEA Technical Reports Series no. 419, p 84.NORM VII reported 29,000 Bq/kg Th-232 for zircon in Nigeria this is a very funny book with lots of humour and dilemma thanks for writing this book i had great pleasure reading it. THANKS JONATHAN MERES! I think that “THE WORLD OF NORM” is an amazing book and I strongly recommend it but if you don’t belive me read this: the world of norm is about a boy called norm and the is never belived now if u belive me read it!!!!!!!It is a very funny book which will make everyone laugh. It is about a boy called Norman who lives with his mum and dad. Norman, his mum and dad had to move house. Norman thinks that they shoudn't have moved and is unhappy about the situation. His dad snores like a constipated rhinoceros. Life cannot get any unfairer for Norman. Will life ever get better for him? I thought this book was humorous when I started to read it. I love reading and this book is slightly different to the other books I read Therefore I thought it would be good to try something good new and different. I thought it was a great idea. Thank you The amounts of radionuclides involved are noteworthy. US, Australian, Indian and UK coals contain up to about 4 ppm uranium, those in Germany up to 13 ppm, and those from Brazil and China range up to 20 ppm uranium. Thorium concentrations are often about three times those of uranium.

Jonathan "Johnny" Meres (born in 1958) [1] is an English actor and writer of children and teen novels. Granite, widely used as a cladding on city buildings and also architecturally in homes, contains an average of 3 ppm (40 Bq/kg) uranium and 17 ppm (70 Bq/kg) thorium. Radiation measurements on granite surfaces can show levels similar to those from low-grade uranium mine tailings. Table 8 shows some recorded activity concentrations for building materials. However some extreme values in excess of these have also been recorded. In 2007, China National Nuclear Corp (CNNC) commissioned Sparton Resources of Canada with the Beijing No.5 Testing Institute to undertake advanced trials on leaching uranium from coal ash in central Yunnan. In early 2007, Sparton signed an agreement with the Xiaolongtang Guodian Power Company of Yunnan for a program to test and possibly commercialize the extraction of uranium from waste coal ash. Some 250 km southwest of Kunming, the Xiaolongtang, Dalongtang and the Kaiyuan power stations, all located within 20 km of each other burn coal from a centrally located open pit lignite mine with high ash content (20-30%) and very high uranium content. The coal uranium content varies from about 20 to 315 ppm and averages about 65 ppm. The ash averages about 210 ppm U (0.021%U) - above the cut-off level for some uranium mines. The power station ash heap contains over 1000 tU, with annual arisings of 190 tU. (Recovery of this by acid leaching is about 70%.) Radon also occurs in natural gas at up to 37,000 Bq/m 3, but by the time it gets to consumers the radon has largely decayed. However, the solid decay products then contaminate gas processing plants, and this manifestation of NORM is an occupational health issue, as discussed above.

The world of norm is about a boy called Norm who moves house because his parents cant afford to pay the rent for the old house because his dad was fired because he was playing on a game at work.I like the World Of Norm because it is intresting and funny and very entertaining to read.

Though not normally considered as NORM, wastes from the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle through to fuel fabrication may be treated as NORM, opening up more options for disposal. Such material includes uranium oxides. Radon exposure is also an issue in uranium mines. Phosphates and fertilizer productionI think this book is extremely funny about the misfourtunes of Norm. This book is suitable for all ages and is a recommended read. Language - this is for primary school-children, and they can wait to use mild profanity like 'Gordon-Flipping-Bennet.' That's very annoying. NORM levels are typically expressed in one of two ways: Becquerels per kilogram (or gram) indicates level of radioactivity generally or due to a particular isotope, while parts per million (ppm) indicates the concentration of a specific radioisotope in the material.
