Multipurpose scintillation camera

Description: The scintillation camera is a nonscanning instrument for displaying the distribution of radioactive isotopes. It can be used, for example, to show abnormalities in the thyroid gland with I-131, the size, shape and location of kidneys with Hg-203 Neohydrin or to locate brain tumors either with Hg-203 Neohydrin or with the new positron emitting agent, Ga-68 EDTA. For many applications, the scintillation camera has higher sensitivity than conventional isotope scanners, and will produce pictures in… more

Recommended emergency procedure for extended outage at all IDP production reactors

Description: If for an unspecified reason it becomes necessary to shut down all eight production reactors for an extended period exceeding normal outage times, the following procedures are recommended. These procedures have been devised to render the maximum safe situation short of complete core discharge and to enable as efficient a reactor startup as possible following the outage. Specific topics include: general safety, startup efficiency, detailed shutdown procedure of reactor and water plant, and start… more
