The transverse gamma spectrometry of an irradiated fuel pencil, associated to a tomography method of gamma emitters reconstruction in a straight section of the pencil, is a non destructive technique which proves efficient when there are enough projections...

The dosimetric properties of some twenty textile fibers have been studied in order to develop a method for determining the dose received in the case of an accidental gamma irradiation. Three textile fibers having properties most closely satisfying our nee...
The very soft, pure crystals of LiF that are commercially available were formed unsuitable for some experimental work because they suffer accidental plastic deformation during cleavage and tend to split on (ll0) planes. Irradiation with gamma rays produces harder crystals that can be cleaved and handled without much damage. ...

ABS>The relative biological efficiency of fast neutrons compared with cesium gamma rays is equal to 3 on the lethality of August rats and equal to 4 as measured by the mean weight drop three days after irradiation. The timing of the various reactions appears to be the same in both cases, but death after fast neutron ...
A dose-response curve has been obtained for the induction of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes from blood acutely irradiated with 60Co gamma-rays in a dose range of 0.098-4.89 Gy. This curve has been used for biological dose estimation for 21 cases of known or suspected accidental overexposure of Turkish radiation workers. ...

Accidental radiation exposure raises concern for functional modifications in the uterine physiology. In the current work, total body gamma-irradiation (0.7, 1.4 and 2.1 Gy) of non-pregnant adult female albino rats increased significantly the frequency and amplitude of uterine contractions in vivo. Administration of Thiola (a sulfhydryl containing agent) in ...

This work reports the effects of the gain variation of the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) observed on a cardiac dedicated gamma camera after accidental high-flux irradiation. One detector of this dual-headed 90�-fixed gamma camera was accidentally left uncollimated during a quality assurance ...
