Introduction: Japan is the only country to have experienced atomic bombings and still has many nuclear power plants. In 2011, a plant accident occurred during major magnitude 9.0 earthquake, there was great deal of concern about radiation exposure medicine for public. It necessary provide appropriate medicine. Method: The facility located within IAEA's UPZ, in event an emergency, it medical car...

After decommissioning of Unit 1 of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, the problem of the radioactive waste management emerged. Among radioactive waste there is an inventory of about 1700 tons of the graphite containing C radioisotope as an activation product. The estimates show that the maximal total inventory of C in graphite from Unit 1 is around 7 · 10 Bq. One of the possible ways for utiliza...

The article by Wing et al. (1) introduced the idea of calculating the relative intensity of radioactive fallout between sectors of a circle drawn around the accident at Three Mile Island. The partition derived from wind and weather data allowed a comparison of ratios of radiation exposure between sectors with cancer incidence ratios and bypassed much of the uncertainty involved in calculating a...

Introduction Ionizing radiation comes from natural (radioactivity and cosmic radiation) or artificial sources. The ionizing radiation, which includes the X-ray radioactive isotopes produced in nuclear reactors, has many applications, notably industries, investigation medicine sectors, turning health professionals into exposed workers. Case description A case of a 61-year-old women, radiologic t...
