Feasibility study of medical isotope production at Sandia National Laboratories

Automated radioxenon monitoring for the comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty in two distinctive locations: Ottawa and Tahiti

“…8A and C. Note that 60% of the data has no detectable 133m Xe activity concentration. Note that some of the data is consistent with the expected ratio for 133 Xe medical isotope production (Massey et al, 1995) as indicated by the superimposed line of slope 0.045. This line has not been fit to the data.…”

“…This observation supports the possibility of more than one source of radioxenon observable in the Ottawa area. To compare to 133 Xe medical isotope production (Massey et al, 1995), a line with a ratio of 0.045 is also illustrated in Fig. 9.…”

Diagnostic Imaging Agents

“…Tc-99m is the most common radionuclide in clinical nuclear medicine, used in about 80% of the procedures [3]. It is used for both disease detection and studies of organ structure and function.…”

Safety analysis for operating the Annular Core Research Reactor with Cintichem-type targets installed in the central region of the core

“…With the reactor operating at full power in the near future, abetter understanding of the diffusion parameters can be developed. Assuming that decay, evaporation, and water cleanup are the only methods for the radioactive isotopes to leave the pool, the integrated release from the building can be calculated using the formulation (Massey, 1995) m…”
