Disease relevance of Nuclear Energy

• The study was performed under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Commission, Vienna, Austria, with the aim of determining the optimal minimum therapeutic dose of iodine-131 for Graves' disease [1].
• CONCLUSIONS--Risk of prostatic cancer risk was increased in United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority workers who were occupationally exposed to tritium, 51Cr, 59Fe, 60Co, or 65Zn [2].

High impact information on Nuclear Energy

• We assessed two exposure groups--high and low--by estimating levels of ground cesium contamination from the International Atomic Energy Agency maps [3].
• Expression of brain-type creatine kinase and ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase in the fetal rat brain: evidence for a nuclear energy shuttle [4].
• These results demonstrate a coordinate pattern of expression and compartmentation of BCK and uMtCK isoforms in the fetal brain that, in some cells, provides the anatomic basis for a nuclear energy shuttle [4].
• In further analyses of a cohort of 39,718 United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority employees after 7 more years follow-up, cancer mortality, based on 1,506 deaths in 1946-86, was 20% below the national average [5].
• It is also demonstrated that the source function from Li to rho(b) in LiX diatomics is a more sensitive index of atomic transferability than it is the lithium atomic energy or population [6].

Biological context of Nuclear Energy

• Except for chest PA and LAT and skull LAT procedures, all guidance levels derived in this work are less than those recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Survey data and guidance levels were provided to the national authorities to help them develop quality control and radiation protection programs for medical exposures [7].
• Special disposal precautions are discussed for biologicals (autoclaving and then incineration), antineoplastics (incineration or neutralization before disposal via sewer or landfill systems), and radiopharmaceuticals (disposal according to the recommendations of the Atomic Energy Control Board) [8].

Anatomical context of Nuclear Energy

• Chest wall thickness measurements of the LLNL and JAERI torso phantoms for germanium detector counting. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Japanese Atomic Energy Research Institute [9].

Associations of Nuclear Energy with chemical compounds

• The American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 51 (TG-51) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published a new high-energy photon and electron dosimetry protocol, in 1999 and 2000, respectively [10].
• Selenium was determined in freeze-dried fish flesh from perch, pike-perch and the fish flesh reference materials MA-A-2 No. 1174 and MA-B-3 No. 151 (both from the International Atomic Energy Agency) by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry [11].
• Substituting uranium data from the Nuclear Energy Agency Thermochemical Database project (NEA-TDB) into both programs produced similar results from each program, with UO2F+ predicted to dominate (68%) in a groundwater sample [12].
• A field tracer test performed under natural flow conditions at the Twin Lake test site, Chalk River Laboratories of the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. in Chalk River, Ontario, Canada, using tritium and three herbicides (Chlortoluron, Terbuthylazine, and Pendimethalin) was interpreted using the dispersion equation with a combined reaction model [13].
• Nuclear energy: health impact of carbon-14 [14].

Gene context of Nuclear Energy

• Shipments are governed by the Federal Department of Transportation, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and, for international shipments, the International Atomic Energy Agency. Knowledge of the regulations of these agencies is essential for maintenance of a viable radiation safety program [15].
• OBJECTIVE: An excess of cancer was suspected by workers of the metallurgy department at the French Atomic Energy Commissariat (CEA) after several deaths from cancer were reported in 1983 and 1984 [16].
• This paper questions the validity of the protocols proposed by the International Atomic Energy Agency to measure TF in the field and in greenhouses conditions [17].
• This paper presents some applications of phased array inspections carried out by the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and the French Company of Electricity (EDF) in the framework of R&D studies [18].
• This paper presents the results of calibration of PTW Markus and NACP ionization chambers following the procedures outlined in the TRS 381 International Atomic Energy Agency code of practice [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nuclear Energy

• The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA TRS-398) and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM TG-51) have published new protocols for the calibration of radiotherapy beams [20].
• Neutron diffraction analysis of the cubic insulin crystals was carried out using a single-crystal diffractometer at the JRR-3M reactor of the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. In preliminary analysis, Npi appears to be protonated and Ntau deprotonated in His5 in the B-chain, whereas both Npi and Ntau are protonated in His10 [21].
• METHODS: A cross sectional analysis of reproductive outcome was reported in an occupational cohort of nuclear industry workers from the Atomic Energy Authority, Atomic Weapons Establishment, and British Nuclear Fuels in the United Kingdom [22].
• Case-control study of prostatic cancer in employees of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority [2].
