Microscopic doses absorbed by cell nucleus from beta-rays of H-3 and C-14, and compared with that of I-125

International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology -- MAY 19-24, 1997 -- TRIESTE, ITALYWOS: 000074938600336Previous microscopic dose absorption calculation method from Auger electrons of I-125 within the cell nucleus considering its approximate elemental composition developed by Unak[1, 2] has been similarly applied in this study to the dose absorption calculations from beta-rays of H-3 and C-14. The doses were calculated for equal activities of H-3 and C-14 considering their randomly distribution and randomly decaying within the cell nucleus. Same calculations were also repeated for a cell model in which the nucleus was considered as consisted of water, and the doses were found considerably higher than the corresponding doses absorbed by the real cell nucleus. In addition, the doses absorbed from beta-rays of H-3 and C-14 were compared with that of I-125.Commiss European Communities, D G XII Sci Res & Dev, Int Union Pure & Appl Phys, Soc Italiana Fis, TSI Res, Solana Beach, CA, Comune Lugo, Banco Romagna, Comune Trieste, Cassa Risparmio Trieste Fdn, ALITALIA, TELECOM ITALIA, ANSALDO, Div Nucl, FIAT SE P IN, Serv Ind, Ctr Radioprotezione, Assicurazioni Gen SpA, Zust Ambrosetti SpA, FINNIGAN, Cinisello Balsamo, SEGRETA, Bologna, RANK XEROX, ILLY CAFFE SpA, Trieste, VOLVO Italia SpA, Principe San Daniele SpA, Trieste, Edizioni Essegi, Ravenna, SEIMARC, Lugo, Biagetti Arredamenti, Ravenn
