RADIUM AND MESOTHORIUM POISONING AND DOSIMETRY AND INSTRUMENTATION TECHNIQUES IN APPLIED RADIOACTIVITY. Annual Progress Report (open access)

RADIUM AND MESOTHORIUM POISONING AND DOSIMETRY AND INSTRUMENTATION TECHNIQUES IN APPLIED RADIOACTIVITY. Annual Progress Report

The study of the toxicity of radium and radium decay products was continued. Special emphasis was placed on the acquisition of data on patients selected by record of exposure. Data are tabulated on the radium body burden of about 40 individuals. About half the measurements were made on living persons and about half on tooth or bone specimens. Case history summaries and all available medical data are summarized for persons under study. An investigation of the gamma shielding properties of dunite was continued. Design modifications and calibration of radiation detection instruments are discussed. (For preceding period see AECU-3504.) (C.H.)

Report for General Research for December 11, 1950 to April 2, 1951. (Radium Volume)

The work presented in this volume concludes the research on methods for the recovery of purified radium from K-65 residues. The completion of a final report and an engineering study of the proposed process are underway. The preliminary treatment of the K-65 residues with 15% sodium hydroxide was checked and found to give 84% removal of lead and 40% removal of silica. The combined sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate treatment for removing additional amounts of lead and achieving a preliminary conversion of the radium-barium silfates to carbonates has been studied at 170 deg C under pressure as well as at 100 deg C as previously used. A marked improvemont was found with the use of higher temperatures. Alternate methods were studied for removing the residual lead content in place of precipitation with hydrogen sulfide. Precipitation of insoluble hydroxides was found to remove about 90% of the lead present. The over-all recovery of radium in the residues treatment has been checked and found to be better than 98%. The work on the separation of radium from barium by fractional precipitation of the chromates has shown that in actual practices the results are in good agreement with the results calculated from the observed …
