We compared the effect of nine N-nitroso compounds, given by gavage to adult rats, on specific radioactivity of the trichloroacetic acid-precipitable liver proteins, 1 hr after the injection of [14C]leucine. The specific radioactivity was decreased by dimethylnitrosamine, diethylnitrosamine, methyl-n-butylnitrosamine, and nitrosomorpholine 5 to 10 hr after their administration; was increased by...

this study was conducted to determine the radioactivity concentration in soil samples of anarak-khour district located at central iran. 48 soil samples from a depth of 10-15 cm were taken from seven different sites for monitoring. the radioactivity concentration of 238u, 232th, 137cs and 40k in soil samples was determined, using a high resolution (hpge detector, p-type) γ-spectrometry by detect...

Radioactive krypton-85 (85Kr) gas, a chemically inert and non-proliferation indicator, is derived from fission products. Its detection relies on the Budesamt für Strahlenschutz–Institute of Atmospheric Radioactivity (BfS-IAR) method, which necessitated impurity removal using soda lime, silica gel, liquid nitrogen for cryogenic adsorption. This manual process requires frequent replacements, posi...

background: the natural radioactivity level and the radon concentration of soil were measured at four important geothermal area located in dikili geothermal region, turkey. materials and methods: the natural radionuclide content of soil samples were measured by nai(tl) gamma spectrometer system and the soil radon concentration were determined using kodak-pethe lr-115 type ii solid state nuclear...
