Absorption of Beta and Gamma Radiation

چکیده
About this lab The natural environment involves nuclear radiation. Mankind has added to this by production of power and by application of “artificial” radiation to medical and other uses. After a hiatus of decades in the United States (but not in the rest of the world) nuclear fission power plant construction may experience a revival, under the economic pressure of fossil fuel price increases and with increased appreciation that nuclear power involves no greenhouse gas release.

Water Absorption of Chitosan, Collagen and Chitosan/Collagen Blend Membranes Exposed to Gamma-ray Irradiation
TThis study investigated the water absorption of chitosan, collagen, and chitosan/collagen blend membranes exposed to gamma-ray irradiation. These membranes were produced via the solvent evaporation method. All membranes then underwent irradiation at 15 or 25 kGy gamma-ray doses, while membranes without irradiation were used as controls. After immersing the membranes in distilled water for up t...
متن کاملProduction of Strontium-89 Radioisotope by Neutron Activation Method and Preparation of 89Strontium Chloride Radiopharmaceutical
Strontium-89 is one of the most important radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine for therapy of bone pain caused by bone metastases. That is due to the beta radiation with sufficient energy for destroying metastatic sites in bone tissue. The routine application is ensured by introducing 89SrCl2 radiopharmaceutical and then inject...

For test exposures, x-rays between 60 and 140 KVPCo-60 gamma radiation and Sr-90 beta particles were used. The actual delivered dose equival...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory role of piperine against rat lung tissue damage induced by gamma-rays
Background: Radiation‐induced acute lung damages are refractory side effects in lung cancer radiotherapy (RT). Prospective study investigates the possible role of piperine (Pip) as anti-inflammatory agent against γ-rays-induced lung tissue lesions in an applicable rat model. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: Control, rats were administered...
متن کاملAssessment of the role of specific absorption rate of mobile phones on the induction of microwave-induced survival adaptive responses after exposure to lethal doses of gamma radiation
Background: Whether exposure to common electromagnetic fields affects human health adversely has been a controversial issue. The main goal of this study was to assess the role of 900 MHz microwave radiations with different specific absorption rates (SARs), emitted from some widely used cell phones, on the induction of adaptive response in male Balb/c mice after receiving a lethal dose of gamma ...
متن کاملConceptual Design and Simulation of Alpha-Beta Detector for Surface Contamination Measurements
The radioactive contamination measurement is essential in nuclear facilities. Monitoring of low level alpha and beta contamination is possible using light detectors high efficiency. Due to the fact that many detectors canchr('39')t simultaneously discriminate alpha, beta and gamma rays; among existing methods, phoswich detectors would be appropriate option to measure different radioactive conta...
