Preparation of solid water-equivalent radioactive standards.
The use of a superabsorbent polymer to prepare water-equivalent volume standards by solidification without the need of irradiation to effect the polymerization process, is described. Less than 40 g of the polymer is needed to solidify 1 litre of solution. Monte Carlo simulations of the gamma-ray escape probability indicate that the mixture is water-equivalent to better than 1.0%. During prepara...
متن کاملRadiation safety: New international standards
by Abel J. Gonzalez B*y the end of the 1980s, a vast amount of new information had accumulated to prompt a new look at the standards governing protection against exposures to ionizing radiation and the safety of radiation sources. First and foremost, a re-evaluation of the radioepidemiological findings from Hiroshima and Nagasaki suggested that exposure to lowlevel radiation was riskier than pr...
متن کاملRisk in perspective: Radiation, reactor accidents, and radioactive waste
"If all the country's electricity were generated by nuclear power plants, the health risk would be equivalent to the risk faced by a regular smoker who smokes one extra cigarette every 10 years; or by an overweight person who increases his weight by 0.03 ounces; by crossing a street one extra time every 20 weeks; by increasing the national speed limit from 55 mph to 55.02; or by using a sub-com...
متن کاملOptical Radiation Measurements Based on Detector Standards
A near-IR radiometer standard with similar performance to silicon trap-detectors has been developed to calibrate detectors and radiometers for absolute spectral power, irradiance, and radiance responsivities between 950 nm and 1650 nm. The new radiometer standard is utilized at the Spectral Irradiance and Radiance Responsivity Calibrations using Uniform Sources (SIRCUS) which is the reference c...
متن کاملRadiation Protection Standards for Medical Investigations
Large-scale using of ionizing radiation for medical investigations has benefits and risks. Every country has national standards for radiation protection, defining responsibilities of individuals and organizations for radiation control. In spite of the rich legislation, the total cumulated dose absorbed by a patient during medical investigations is not cumulated or established in a unified manne...
