Radiation protection strategies

Critical to hazard characterization is the identification of hazards and the assessment of possible worker exposure. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. As described before, one commonly used technique is a JHA with project teams that include the worker. The information collected is used by the SSHO and the radiation control officer to develop an appropriate hazard control and protection strategy. 

It should be also noted that, in a very recent publication, Liu and coworkers were successful in applying microwave radiation within their domino approach towards the synthesis of pyrrolo[2,l-fc]quinazoline alkaloids such as deoxyvasicinone, 8-hy-droxydeoxyvasicinone, mackinazolinone and isaindigotone, which exhibit a promising broad spectrum of biological activities. In the case of isaindigotone, the authors were able to extend their strategy to a three-component procedure, which comprises the domino conversion of anthranilic acids and Boc-protected amino acids into the tricyclic core skeleton [43].

A number of straightforward environmental remediation strategies at Bikini Island have been considered, which, if properly implemented, would achieve very satisfactory results from the point of view of radiation protection. It is therefore concluded that ...
