Measurement of Strontium-90 in the Persian Gulf Fish by Extraction Chromatography with Sr-resin and Liquid Scintillation Counter
Background: Despite its beneficial effects on human life, the nuclear industry has its own risks. Strontium 90 (90Sr) is one of the most dangerous radionuclides produced by the uranium 235 fission, and replaces the bone calcium in the human body, which causes cancer. Ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities to protect employees, people and the environment is among the main goals of nuclear saf...
متن کاملIron absorption. Measurement of ingested iron59 by a human whole-body liquid scintillation counter.
The availability of radioactive isotopes of iron led to the development of reliable methods of studying iron kinetics (1), but the absorption of iron by the gastrointestinal tract was still determined indirectly by the amount of unabsorbed iron excreted in the stools or by quantification of isotopic iron incorporated into hemoglobin (2-7). The availability of a whole-body counter in a clinical ...
متن کاملDetermination of exhalation rates through measurements of alpha and beta radiation with the aid of liquid scintillation counter
Radon is a natural radioactive element in the gaseous form. It is a decay product of radium, which is present in all rocks and building materials. Radon escapes from them via diffusion and convection. The effect of radon releasing from solid materials to the pore air is called emanation. The parameters that characterise quantitatively this effect are the emanation coefficient and/or exhalation ...
متن کاملUse of an Immersible Scintillation Counter in the Urinary Vitamin B 12 Excretion Test.
The urinary excretion test for vitamin B12 absorption devised by Schilling, Clatanoff, and Korst (1955) and Callender and Evans, in the same year, is probably the most commonly used method in the assessment of this function of the gut, and particularly in the diagnosis of pernicious anaemia. The reproducibility of the results obtained in this manner and the convenience of the procedure compared...
متن کاملDevelopment of a low background liquid scintillation counter for a shallow underground laboratory.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has recently opened a shallow underground laboratory intended for measurement of low-concentration levels of radioactive isotopes in samples collected from the environment. The development of a low-background liquid scintillation counter is currently underway to further augment the measurement capabilities within this underground laboratory. Liquid scintill...
