A PROGRAMME OF STUDY TO EXAMINE THE MICRODISTRIBUTION OF ALPHA-EMITTING RADIONUCLIDES IN MAN AND DEVELOPMENT OF FAST NEUTRON SPECTROMETRY AND DOSIMETRY

Objetivo

THIS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON DOSIMETRY FOR THE PROTECTION OF WORKERS AND THE POPULATION. DEVELOPMENT OF DOSIMETRIC METHODOLOGY FOR A BETTER EVALUATION OF ORGAN DOSES.
Research has concentrated on one aspect of natural alpha-radioactivity in the human lung. Higher activity was observed at the visceral pleura compared to the lung parenchyma, only a few millimetres away. This is of particular interest as it indicates a natural clearance route in the healthy lung.

Research is concerned with the microdistribution of alpha active nuclides in the human lung, and a study of the uptake and burial of alpha radionuclides in human bone. The provision of facilities for the assay of occupationally exposed plutonium in lung, liver and skeleton is being pursued.
