Monte Carlo derived absorbed fractions in a voxelized model of a rainbow trout

Creator:: Hess, Catherine A.
Abstract:: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...

An investigation of radioactively contaminated wastewater reclamation plant biosolids

Creator:: Brannan, C. Thomas
Abstract:: Within the last 15 years, wastewater treatment plants have increasingly begun to find radioactive isotopes incorporated in biosolids. Regulations concerning the disposal of radioactive material via sanitary sewer systems were in place since the early 1960's and recently were further restricted. However, the updated regulations would not have prevented certain...

A web-based medical radionuclide database

Creator:: Jue, Tracy M.
Abstract:: Currently the Food and Drug Administration publishes radiopharmaceutical information for physicians to choose appropriate medical diagnosis and therapy for their patients. The primary functions of these radiopharmaceuticals are diagnosis and delivering doses to a patient with appropriate energy, biological half life, chemical behavior, and radiological half life. These radiopharmaceuticals preferentially...

An investigation of chitosan for sorption of radionuclides

Creator:: Holfeltz, Vanessa Elaine
Abstract:: Chitosan is a biopolymer resulting from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer in nature. Chitosan has been successfully used in systems to remove metal ions and other pollutants from wastewater. Chitosan has shown promise as a sorbent for radionuclides in some aqueous waste streams. The sorption of...

Determining cross sections for potential medical radioisotopes

Creator:: Coleman, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Cost effective medical isotope production is key to the success of many forms of radiation therapy. A lymphoma clinical trial for copper-67 was canceled in 1997 due to insufficient production quantities of the isotope (Fast Flux Test Facility, 2001). To date high flux thermal reactors and particle accelerator facilities have...

Medical radionuclides and their impurities in wastewater

Creator:: Hay, Tristan Ryan
Abstract:: NCRP report No.160 states that medical exposure increased to nearly half of the total radiation exposure of the U.S. population from all sources in 2006 (NCRP 2009). Part of this increase in exposure is due to the rise in nuclear medicine procedures. With this observed growth in medical radionuclide usage,...

Comparison of eye plaque dosimetry using deterministic and Monte Carlo methods

Creator:: Bristol, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Eye plaque brachytherapy is an established technique for the treatment of ocular melanoma that allows for the preservation of the affected eye as well as visual function. A common treatment planning system for eye plaque procedures, Plaque Simulator (PS), assists physicists in calculating the radiation dose to the tumor and...
