Many food products are recommended to give health benefits. Thus algae superfoods consumption is growing worldwide, although quite a few studies have examined the quantities of radionuclides they contain and their potential effects on human health. The study presents radioactive 40K, 137Cs, 226Ra, 228Ra, 234Th in supplements available worldwide for consumption. Samples been quantified by gamma-...

Recent years have seen a renewed interest for molten salt reactor (MSR) technologies. It is noticeable, though, that all MSR projects feature either fluoride or chloride melts the fuel while use of heavier halides -- bromine and iodine, namely – scarcely mentioned with argument their capture cross section too high. This paper thus intends to update status bromide iodide salts as potential nucle...

While theoretically feasible, estrogen receptor (ER)-directed radiotherapy of hormone-dependent cancers has not been realized because no ER-seeking ligand with an appropriate radiotoxic potential has been identified. Since an appropriate nuclide is a key component we studied the 4.4-h half-life, Auger electron-emitting nuclide bromine-80m. When incorporated into DNA this nuclide was radiotoxic ...

While theoretically feasible, estrogen receptor (ER)-directed radio therapy of hormone-dependent cancers has not been realized because no ER-seeking ligand with an appropriate radiotoxic potential has been identified. Since an appropriate nuclide is a key component we studied the 4.4-h half-life, Auger electron-emitting nuclide bromine-SOm. When incorporated into DNA this nuclide was radiotoxic...

Before microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) can be exploited to its full potential for longitudinal monitoring of transgenic and experimental mouse models of lung diseases, radiotoxic side effects such as inflammation or fibrosis must be considered. We evaluated dose and potential radiotoxicity to the lungs for long-term respiratory-gated high-resolution micro-CT protocols. Free-breathing C57Bl/...

Accurate neutron capture cross section data for minor actinides (MAs) are required to estimate the production and transmutation rates of MAs in light water reactors, critical fast reactors like Gen-IV systems, other innovative reactor systems such as accelerator driven (ADS). In particular, 244 Cm, 246 Cm 248 play a role transport, storage nuclear waste current due contribution these isotopes r...
