Liquid radioactive waste is a common by-product when using radioactive isotopes in research and medicine. Efficient remediation of such liquid waste is crucial for increasing safety during the necessary storage of the material. Herein, we present a novel Gum Karaya stabilized magnetite for the efficient removal of radioactive phosphorus (32)P from liquid radioactive waste. This environmentally ...

Nasal decontamination may be indicated when the anterior nasal passages are contaminated with highly radioactive material or radioactive material with either irritating or toxic properties. Nasal irrigation (wash, rinse, douche, lavage) is an established technique used for other conditions and can be applied in these cases. This paper discusses the rationale and use of nasal irrigation and how ...

In this paper, using concepts from the nonstandard physical world, the linear effect line element is derived. Previously, this line element was employed to obtain, with the exception of radioactive decay, various experimentally verified special theory relativistic alterations in physical measures. This line element is now used to derive, by means of separation of variables, an expression that p...

Throughout the 50-year history of the Savannah River Site (SRS), its employees have engaged in many activities that potentially could result in an accidental intake of radioactive material. For that reason, radiation workers have always been monitored for internal deposits of radioactive material. An overview of in vitro and in vivo monitoring methods are provided, as well as computational meth...

The localization and tracking of radioactive sources in public facilities like airports or stations is a problem of highest security relevance. The accumulation and the severity of terrorist attacks during the past decade give reason to the assumption that future attacks could also involve radioactive material packaged with conventional explosives. The only way to avoid such kind of attacks is ...

A particulate enzyme preparation from the fungus imperfectus C~yptococcus laurentii var. flavescens (NNRL Y-1401) catalyzes the transfer of galactosyl residues from UDP-[WIgalactose to an endogenous acceptor. The radioactive reaction product is particle-bound, but is solubilized by pronase treatment. The solubilized radioactive material migrates as a single peak on a column of Sepharose 4-B, in...
