|
| Even a seemingly tiny piece of radioisotope like plutonium can be emitting many millions of alpha, beta or gamma particles per week. |
|
| In essence, the process involves binding a radioisotope to a compound that has a specific affinity for an organ or region of the body. |
|
| In 1934 he used a radioisotope of phosphorus to study how human tissue absorbs phosphate. |
|
| But every single atom of a radioisotope advertised its presence when it decayed, since the radiation could be detected with a Geiger counter. |
|
| This would shrink the alleged 4.5 billion year radioisotope age of the earth to only a few thousand years. |
|
| The power range of radioisotope thermoelectric generators is generally between 10−6 and 100 watts. |
|
| Use of sonography and radioisotope renography to diagnosis of hydronephrosis in patients with spinal cord injury. |
|
| Gamma decay does not generally affect the mass and atomic number of the radioisotope. |
|
| Each radioisotope has a unique half-life and can be a fraction of a second or billions of years. |
|
| The fourth facility is in the course of having its licence converted from a radioisotope licence to a facility licence. |
|
| The radioactive tracer evaluated for this study, known by the brand name Zemiva, links a fatty acid to a radioisotope which is injected in the patient. |
|
| Lawrence used his cyclotron to accelerate deuterons that were then crashed into sodium, producing a therapeutically useful radioisotope of sodium. |
|
| The mission was possible because it drew its power from two long-lasting radioisotope thermoelectric generators provided by the Department of Energy. |
|
| During that same period, a total of 21 individuals and prescribed substance and radioisotope licensees were taken to court. |
|
| In order to standardize terminology, a glossary has been prepared to improve understanding, particularly in the area of radioisotope licences. |
|
| The Voyagers were equipped with three radioisotope thermoelectric generators to produce electrical power for the spacecrafts' systems and instruments. |
|
| In addition, small radioisotope heater units have been used to provide local heating of spacecraft components. |
|
| In other words, each radioisotope has its own decay constant, abbreviated λ, which provides a measure of its intrinsic rapidity of decay. |
|
| Residual urine is measured by noting the amount of radioisotope remaining in the bladder after urination. |
|
|
|
| Radioactive waste is firstly classified into two main types of waste, radioisotope waste and nuclear waste. |
|
| You have to have years of radioisotope expertise, working with animals, working in the labs, working with people, working with children of Chernobyl. |
|
| In addition, the TRIUMF facility includes four smaller accelerators, including three cyclotrons used for radioisotope production and one two-stage linear accelerator for accelerating heavy ions. |
|
| The guidance provided reflects international consensus on measures needed to achieve safety and is intended for both radioisotope power systems and nuclear reactor systems. |
|
| They are used for labeling compounds so that they can be traced through various chemical, physical, and environmental processes without the problems created by radioisotope tracers. |
|
| For example, radioisotope thermoelectric generators provide electric power for isolated weather monitoring stations, for deep-ocean data collection, for various warning and communications systems, and for spacecraft. |
|
| It also plays a role in assuring the quality of stable and radioisotope analyses through its coordination of intercomparison tests with laboratories around the world. |
|
| The scope and depth of the radiation safety training for radioisotope workers should reflect the actual radioisotope operations and radiation risks associated with their work. |
|
| We licence about 3,500 operations across Canada, covering everything from nuclear power plants to uranium mines and fuel fabrication facilities, from radioisotope production to radioactive waste management facilities. |
|
| Moreover, the process of applying for many types of radioisotope licence requires that the applicant submit a description of the proposed radiation safety training program. |
|
| One more reactor going down means that the cushion is lost. There has been sharing of radioisotope between suppliers, and this has undoubtedly helped those centres that are only supplied by one of the generator suppliers. |
|
| This proposed Regulatory Standard would describe the responsibility levels for the design and classification of low, medium and high level radioisotope laboratories. |
|
| Staff noted that all gauge radioisotope licensees were informed of the potential hazard and will be provided with a modification kit from the gauge manufacturer. |
|
| The most common decay mode of a radioisotope of zinc with a mass number lower than 66 is electron capture. |
|
| It is a heat source in radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which are used to power some spacecraft. |
|
| Unlike earlier generation chelates used to attach the yttrium radioisotope to antibodies, the MX-DTPA used to create IDEC-Y2B8 exhibits excellent in vivo retention of yttrium. |
|
| The probe label of choice is now generally a fluorophore as opposed to a radioisotope, but sensitivity is still achieved through signal integration times. |
|
| Radioisotope renography with Tc99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine indicated marked functional renal impairment. |
|
| Radioisotope thermoelectric generators translate that heat to electricity. |
