Radiation justification

The radiobiological and clinical data obtained with fast neutrons are reviewed in the following section they deserve a detailed and careful analysis as they constitute the rationale of the clinical application of any high-LET radiation and, in particular, the justification of the modern heavy-ion therapy programs. 

Nuclear Medicine (Justification of Medical Radiation Exposure) (1995)... 

Analyze the arrangement to assess the type(s) of heat transfer involved. The distance separating the hot and cold surfaces is small compared with the size of the surfaces. The approximation can thus be made that the furnace wall, the dense network of cryogenic piping, and the radiation shields are all infinitely extended parallel planes. This is a conservative assumption, since the effect of proximity to an edge is to introduce a source of moderate temperature, thus allowing the hot wall to cool off. Convection is omitted with the same justification. So the problem can be treated as pure radiation. 

Attributing the outmost importance to the safety factor was justified as regards nuclear and radiation hazardous objects all objects of the decommissioning and environmental rehabilitation pertained to that category. The safety criterion was also highlighted as the main factor for justification of priorities in the EBRD Terms of Reference for the SMP development. 

Justification of nuclear and radiation safety of spent nuclear fuel for stands-prototypes 27/VT and KM-1 of steam producing installation of LMC NS has been performed under long-term normal and emergency conditions.

Based on the data provided by such reports, Gosatomnadzor considers sufficiency of safety justifications during defueling of FSV LepsE" storages to exclude violations of nuclear and radiation safety requirements and overexposure of the FSV s personnel, population and environment under both normal and off-normal operating conditions.

Justification of the practice. No practice involving exposure to radiation should be adopted unless it produces a benefit that outweighs the harm it causes or could cause. 

All three principles apply to the protection of workers and the public. However, to protect patients during the medical use of ionising radiation only justification and optimisation apply. Dose limits are not applicable to medical exposure, but guidance levels which show what is achievable by good practice may be established for use by medical practitioners. Dose limits are also inapplicable to interventions, which are concerned with reducing exposure. 

In this special case, additional approval is needed from the national authorities overseeing radiation safety. For example, in the United Kingdom this is the Administration of Radioactive Substances Advisory Committee (ARSAC). Application to ARSAC only requires a summary of the study protocol, but a careful scientific justification of the amount of radiation employed and the number of subjects exposed. The EU Directive 97/43/EurATOM sets dose limits for healthy subjects and patients. 

The next contribution to the polarization to be lost as the frequency is raised is the distortion polarization, the polarization that arises from the distortion of the positions of the nuclei by the applied field. The molecule is bent and stretched by the applied field, and the molecular dipole moment changes accordingly. The time taken for a molecule to bend is approximately the inverse of the molecular vibrational frequency, so the distortion polarization disappears when the frequency of the radiation is increased through the infrared, The disappearance of polarization occurs in stages as shown in Justification 18.3, each successive stage occurs as the incident frequency rises above the frequency of a particular mode of vibration. 

All EM radiation will interact with solids in some fashion or other. Understanding the nature of this interaction has been and remains invaluable in deciphering and unlocking the mysteries of matter. For instance, it is arguable, and with good justification, that one of the most important techniques to study the solid state has been X-ray diffraction. Other spectroscopic techniques are as varied as radiation sources and what is being monitored, i.e.. reflected, refracted, absorbed rays, etc. 

After three years preparation, the TV inspection of the primary circuits internals has been successfully issued in April 2001. The Novatome division of Framatome-ANP, completed the extensive non-destructive inspection program requested by the Phenix plant with an inspection of the primary circuit internals. Included in its service package were the setting up of the TV inspection — which required the partial draining of the primary-side sodium — the supervision of the supply of various materials needed to be developed and qualified, and the actual carrying out of die inspection. Justification studies for the inspection were carried out at the same time focusing on the thermalhydraulic, safety and radiation protection aspects affected by the lowering of the sodium level in the primary vessel.
