Monitoring of Cs-137 in Electric Arc Furnace Steel Making Process

This article presents the results of 137Cs and other radionuclide monitoring in EAF steel-making process in the Croatian CMC Sisak Steel Mill. The presence of 137Cs and natural isotopes 40 K, 232Th, 226Ra and 238U was established. Investigations on the occurrence of the isotope cesium, as well as natural isotopes and their distribution in waste from the process of carbon steel production by EAF have been conducted. Detection of artificial isotope cesium in EAF dust indicates that it might originate from steel scrap or from the residue of the material that was used in the technological process, thus deserving special attention.
