Radiation safety practices in interventional radiology : the importance of oversight

Creator:: Lally, Mary T.
Abstract:: It is widely recognized that the risks associated to both patients and medical personnel during therapeutic interventional procedures are greater than for other diagnostic studies due to the increased number, and complexity of the examinations resulting in increased radiation exposure. This report documents the practices of seven interventional radiologists at...

Evaluation of the FDA derived intervention levels and exposure rate of 0.4 µR/hrusing NARAC Web Atmosphere and Diffusion Modeling System

Creator:: Hay, Tristan Ryan
Abstract:: The Oregon Department of Energy has set up recommendations for agricultural crop and non-crop embargo zones following an accidental or purposeful radioactive release. Of special interest are the FDA’s Derived Intervention Levels (DIL) and the state’s exposure limit of 0.4µR/hr. At the Oregon State University Emergency Response Research and Support...

Simulated antineutrino signatures of nuclear reactors for nonproliferation applications

Creator:: Misner, Alex C.
Abstract:: Antineutrino detectors could provide a valuable addition to current safeguards regimes. Antineutrinos are an attractive emission to monitor due to their low interaction cross-section that prevents them from being shielded and the dependence of their spectrum on the power level and isotopic content of a reactor core. While there are...
