The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Abstract This paper examines how an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expert mission for technical assistance in the late 1950s to Greece was effectively transformed into a mission to achieve the IAEA′s central objective: to consolidate its position as the leading global authority on radiation protection. The study focuses on the work of Alfred

Radiological protection and certification for medical professionals in Brazil
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2018 Radiation protection is supported by three pillars: justification, optimization and dose limitation. The safe use of ionizing radiation is governed by the limits of public and occupational exposure, justification and optimization for medical exposures ...

- In Vivo Dosimetry in Brachytherapy [PDF]
, 2012 As discussed in the following sections, in vivo dosimetry has been utilized for dierent purposes during the radiation therapy of cancer patients. Initially, this technique was used to verify dose to the organs adjacent to the implanted volume. However, verications of the accuracy of the treatment delivery for complex treatment techniques have been ...
