Abstract
CDC designed a rapid HPGe Bioassay Method for 137Cs, 60Co, and 192Ir that is suitable for a public health response to a radiological incident where people may ingest or inhale radionuclides. The method uses a short count time, small sample volume, and a large volume detector and well size. It measures a patient's urine sample collected post-incident. The levels of concern are directly related to the Clinical Decision Guide levels recommended in the National Council of Radiation Protection 161. Published by Elsevier Ltd.Entities:
