Radium and Mesothorium Poisoning and Dosimetry and Instrumentation Techniques in Applied Radioactivity

Description: "The study of the toxicity of Ra and MsTh(Ra/sup 228/) in humans was continued. Several Thorotrast cases were also examined. Physical and clinical studies were made on 151 persons. In all cases possible gamma ray measurements were made of Ra and MsTh decay products retained in the body, alpha -ray measurements of Rn and Rn/sup 220/ in breath, a complete medical history was taken, a complete x-ray examination was made of the skeleton, and urinalysis, hematological, and blood chemistry studies we… more

A Multi-Channel Unit of Solid State Counters for Nuclear Spectroscopy

Description: A matrix of twenty 2 x 12 mm squared surface barrier counters has been constructed for use in the image plane of a magnetic spectrometer. The outputs of individual crystals are displayed in predetermined channels of a 100-channel pulse height analyzer. This is done by connecting separate crystals to succession sections of a delay line and converting the time difference between signals arriving at the ends of the line into pulse heights. Simple procedures for producing reliable Ge-Au surface b… more
