Radioactive materials and decay chains of them in West Lake, cold water and Weldon spring
FURSAP pdf Decay of 238-Uranium https://www.lrb.usace.army.mil/Portals/45/docs/FUSRAP/FactSheets/fusrap-fs-uranium-2008-09.pdf
As described in “Atomic Homefront,” the West Lake Landfill, operated by Republic Services, Inc. and located in Bridgeton, MO, contains at least 47,000 tons of radioactive waste including Uranium 238, Thorium 230, and Radium 226.
Decay chains of Uranium 238Uranium-238 culminates in Lead-206, after forming intermediates such as Uranium-234, Thorium-230, Radium-226, and Radon-222.
Decay Chain of Isotope U-235
The 4n+3 chain of uranium-235 is commonly called the "actinium series". Beginning with the naturally-occurring isotope U-235, this decay series includes the following elements: Actinium, astatine, bismuth, francium, lead, polonium, protactinium, radium, radon, thallium, and thorium.
Decay chains of Thorium-230What is the decay chain for thorium-232? Thorium-232 has a half-life of 14 billion years and mainly decays by alpha decay to radium-228 with a decay energy of 4.0816 MeV. The decay chain follows the thorium series, which terminates at stable lead-208.
What is the decay chain of radon 226?Radium-226 decays by alpha particle radiation to an inert gas, radon-222, which also decays by alpha particle radiation. Due to the short half-life of radon -222, 3.8 days, there is a high probability it will decay in the body when breathed in, emitting alpha particle radiation in the body. Background on Carrollton Carrollton Subdivision description and historyLocated in Bridgeton, MO. It was one of the first planned communities in the U.S. that made sure to include green space, parks, schools, churches, and a community center in its development. Lambert International Airport made a proposal to the city of St. Louis to expand beyond its boundaries and build a new runway. This was pushed because, at the time, St. Louis was a hub for TWA. Despite the fledgling airline industry, the cause for eminent domain was issued in the direction of Bridgeton, including much of the city and all of the Carrollton subdivision. Although fought hard by community residents who formed a group called, “The Bridgeton Air Defense” and a number of legal battles that stretched decades, Lambert ultimately won and started taking homes as early as 1992. 2,000 structures, 2,000 parcels of land have become or will be soon property of Lambert International. More than 5,000 Bridgeton citizens were dislocated, and the city of St. Louis is now the absentee landlord of the abandoned property, https://firstsecretcity.com/tag/carrollton-subdivision/ A billion dollar white elephant and a community destroyed https://pbase.com/jboard/carrollton Carrollton subdivision Jan. 2007-August 2008 pictures of homes being torn down https://www.flickr.com/photos/radio_inactive/albums/72157600717565277/ Urbanstl 2006 article about Carrollton https://urbanstl.com/carrollton-the-neighborhood-claimed-by-lambert-int-t3485.html Riverfront times article about “hard landing “documentary https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/parsing-propaganda-in-the-documentary-on-lambert-airports-runway-expansion-32504913 STPR 2015 article about West Lake Landfill https://news.stlpublicradio.org/health-science-environment/2015-10-20/confused-about-bridgeton-west-lake-landfills-heres-what-you-should-know As described case between st louis city and Bridgeton https://casetext.com/case/city-of-st-louis-v-city-of-bridgeton Bridgeton settlement agreement with St. Louis city https://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/city-laws/ordinances/ordinance.cfm?ord=67596 Business and economic history W-1W a case study https://thebhc.org/sites/default/files/rust.pdf City of Bridgeton vs FAA 2000 https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-8th-circuit/1074088.html
