Environmental radioactivity g) to that of the soil water (Bq ml). If the radioactivity is tightly bonded to by the minerals in the soil then less radioactivity can be absorbed by crops and grass growing in the soil. One dramatic source of man-made radioactivity is a nuclear weapons test. The glassy trinitite formed by the first atom bomb contains radioisotopes formed by neutron activation and nuclear fission. In addition some natural radioisotopes are present. A recent paper reports the levels of long-lived radioisotopes in the trinitite. The trinitite was formed from feldspar and quartz which were melted by the heat. Two samples
Khai Si Khai Si Khai Si () is a sub-district ("tambon") in Mueang Bueng Kan District, in Bueng Kan Province, northeastern Thailand. As of 2012, it had a population of 5,294 people. It lies on Highway 212 and the Mekong River and border with Laos, west of Bueng Kan and east of Ho Kham. The sub-district was created in 1979, when nine administrative villages were split from Nong Sawang sub-district (then still named Nong Kheng) to form the new sub-district.
