9 Decorporation of radionuclides

  • Chapter
Radiological Protection

Part of the book series: Landolt-Börnstein - Group VIII Advanced Materials and Technologies ((LANDOLT 8,volume 4))

Abstract

This document is part of Volume 4 'Radiological Protection' of Landolt-Börnstein - Group VIII Advanced Materials and Technologies.

It considers first, overviews of the factors which influence the treatment of radionuclides and methods of treatment. However it is devoted mainly to the decorporation of tritium, strontium and iodine isotopes and the actinides plutonium, americium, thorium and uranium which continue to be a matter of concern. Important cases published in the scientific literature are summarised and progress made in research studies designed to optimise treatment for different chemical forms of the actinides reviewed. The Chapter concludes with priorities for future research and an extensive bibliography.
