Abstract It is urgent to assess the radiological dose to the public resulting from the month-long discharge of radioactive materials into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in Japan in March 2011. To do this task, computer simulations on the dispersion of radioactive materials in the environment are useful. However, the source term essential to computer simul...

Introduction: Clinical application of encapsulated radioactive brachytherapy sources has a major role in cancer treatment. In the present research, the effects of different tissue densities on the dose distribution of a 103Pd brachytherapy source in a spherical phantom of 50 cm radius have been studied. Material and Methods: As is well known, absorbed dose in tissue depends to its density, but ...

Abstract MYRRHA will be the world’s first large-scale Accelerator Driven System project at power levels scalable to industrial systems. ISOL@MYRRHA produce Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) using Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) technique, with increased isotope production by high intensity primary beams over a long period while maintaining high-quality RIB. Higher atom flux produced prevalently af...

and only three incorporated inorganic sulfate into their microbial proteins when cysteine was present in the medium. One of these cultures, Lachnospira mvltiparus, incorporated about equal amounts of inorganic sulfate into glutathione and microbial protein when cysteine was present in the medium; but failed to form radioactive glutathione when S35 labeled inorganic sulfate was the only source o...

radioactive iodine therapy is commonly used as an adjuvant therapy in follicular and papillary thyroid carcinoma and also in the treatment of graves’ disease. the basis of which is the accumulation of radioactive iodine by the sodium-iodide symporter (nis) in the thyroid gland. expression of nis by extrathyroidal tissues including islets of pancreas has been reported. radioactive iodine uptake ...
