    About this ebook

    A Review of the Radiosensitivity of the Tissues in Bone is a report prepared by the Task Group for the International Commission on Radiological Protection Committees 1 and 2. The book reviews a biological indicator of the maximum permissible radiation dose. Data shows that an induction of malignant change should be considered as the limiting factor in maximum permissible levels for the bone. The risk of carcinogenesis in cells is connected with the proliferative potential of the cells. These cells are on bone marrow surfaces, in hematopoietic marrow, and in certain epithelial cells close to bone surfaces. The text also reviews the changes in the patterns of distribution resulting from growth and remodeling of bone. The book examines the effect of distribution of alkaline earth, of plutonium, of thorium, of americium, and of phosphorus in bone growth. The book also evaluates the comparative tumorigenic effects of external and internal irradiation of bone and the factors to be considered in determining the dose limitation from bone-seeking radionuclides. This book can prove beneficial to researchers and practitioners in the fields of radiology, internal medicine, or oncology.

      You are the Radiation Safety Officer at a decommissioning project where Sr-90 was used to manufacture radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTG) for offshore buoys. During the project, a worker inadvertently handles and is exposed to a high-activity component. Exposure readings are taken with an ionization chamber instrument.
      GIVEN
      • The component is a moisture trap about the size of a baseball.
      • The beta reading is 8 Sv per hour on contact and 2 Sv per hour at 18 inches.
      • The instrument used had a 7 mg/cm2 window.
      • Gamma readings are 3 R/hr at contact and 2 R/hr at 18 inches.
      • The instrument used had a 300 mg/cm2 window.
      • The monitoring instrument used for contact readings was protected by a plastic bag.
      • The worker hand-carried the trap for 2 minutes at 18 inches from the body.
      • The worker was wearing 2 pairs of rubber gloves, a set of coveralls, and a respirator with a hood.
