Criminal groups have already succeeded in acquiring radioisotopes.

(a) Radioisotope NPS with electrical capacity ranging from a few milliwatts (for miniature spacecraft) to several kilowatts, in the form of RTG and RHU using Stirling cycle and TPE conversion systems

(a) Radioisotope NPS as sources of power, heat and ionizing radiation

United States space research using radioisotope power systems will be based on a combined RTG and RHU design using plutonium 238 fuel, fully meeting the safety requirements of radioisotope NPS use, since those systems ensure that the plutonium 238 containers are intact and hermetic at every stage of RTG use on board the spacecraft and under all foreseeable accident conditions.

Nearly 600 industrial plants use radioisotopes, e.g. in food irradiation, polymerization, industrial radiography and oil well operations.

3.3 Radionuclide network and radionuclide analysis laboratories

Among these means are a network of automated stations for measuring airborne radioactivity, which now also may have the ability to detect radioactive isotopes of noble gases.

Radio active elements

Massive quantities of radioactive isotopes were regularly released into the air and water by nuclear reactors, causing genetic disease.

There has been an increase in the use of radiolabelled peptide and recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technologies and products in the field of radiopharmacology.

That would be accompanied by the ejection of a comparatively insignificant quantity of radioactivity into the environment.

Radioisotopes are used in all kinds of equipment in medicine, oil prospecting, agriculture and university research.

It presented a review of the application of radioisotope NPS for research into the outer planets of the solar system.

To date, the United States has successfully employed 37 Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG apos s) on over 20 spacecraft launches.

In the definition of Specific activity of a radionuclide , delete or volume .

Regarding the radiological testing of food and potable water, in 2002, along with 349 food samples tested, an annual mentoring of 24 samples were checked for 5 radioisotopes.

The Committee had focused on exposures from natural sources of radiation, exposures from man made sources of radiation, medical radiation exposures, the production and use of radio isotopes, nuclear power production, occupational radiation exposures, nuclear weapons testing and accidents.

As we understand it, you for your part are concerned above all at the possibility of radioactive contamination produced by the radioisotope power sources and by the probe itself in the event that fragments of it should have fallen in the territory of the countries of South America.

4. Radioactive products mean any radioactive material produced in the process of producing or using nuclear fuel, or any material which has become radioactive through radiation as a result of the production or use of nuclear fuel, with the exception of radio isotopes which have reached the final stage of manufacture and have thus become suitable for utilization for scientific, medical, agricultural, commercial or industrial purposes.

A Radioactive Bank to be Welcomed

This review will be conducted to provide for the broadest range of existing and future radioisotope and reactor nuclear power applications.

Develop plans for upgrading the existing stations

The Department of Energy (DoE) has developed a new model RTG with a more efficient fuel design called the General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS).

An RTG is a device without moving parts that converts the heat from the decay of the radioisotope Plutonium 238 (Pu 238) into electricity.

The use of isotopes and radiation in food and agricultural research and development continues to yield rich results.

Man made radionuclides continue to be released into the environment, from the large growth of a civil nuclear power programme and the use of radionuclides in medicine, agriculture and industry.

The spacecraft will carry one radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) to provide on board electrical power and regulate the temperature for spacecraft operation and scientific instruments.

The spacecraft will carry three radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) to provide on board electrical power and regulate the temperature for spacecraft operation and scientific instruments.

For instance, the multi hundred watt RTG on the Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977, has continued to operate as it has travelled beyond Neptune into space.

2.1 Develop the technical specifications of IMS monitoring stations and the radionuclide analysis laboratories

18. Artificial radionuclides in the environment arise from civil and military nuclear programmes and from the use of radiopharmaceuticals in medicine.

We do not buy unit doses of radiopharmaceuticals.

One is, for instance, technetium is a radioactive element with a decay time of 4.2 million years.

A team of six from the Ministry of Agriculture continued receiving technical support in the application of isotope and radiation technologies to control and monitor the Mediterranean fruit fly population in the Gaza Strip.

For IMS Develop proposals on the roles and tasks of radionuclide analysis laboratories

Later in 1994, DoE will issue a comprehensive report responding to a General Accounting Office inquiry regarding the long term production capability of RTG apos s.

Localization, transport and burial of radioactive waste, deactivating materials and maintaining radioactive waste repositories

(a) Unlawfully and intentionally uses or threatens to use nuclear material, nuclear fuel, radioactive products, radioactive material, their radioactive properties or a combination of radioactive properties with toxic, explosive or other dangerous properties

Because you have to know how much of radioactive element you have in those systems.

The area contaminated with long lived radioactive nuclides constitutes 21 per cent of the country's entire territory.

(a) (i) The use or threat of the use of nuclear material, nuclear fuel, radioactive products or waste, or any other radioactive substances, their radioactive properties or a combination of radioactive properties with toxic, explosive or other dangerous properties

Under the Notification Convention, States parties have the obligation to immediately notify IAEA in the event of any radiological accident, including those involving the use of radioisotopes or nuclear reactors for power generation in space objects.
