Summary
From meeting on fission product nuclear data; Bologna, Italy (26 Nov 1973). Applications of fission product nuclear data and data on the fission process in uranium and transuranic elements are required for radiation protection of personnel and the general population for the following situations: to determine the toxicity to exposed individuals from externally located isotopes in the environment or in the fuel cycle; to determine the toxicity caused by deposition of radioactive materials in living systems; to estimate the radiation dose to patients during medical application of injected radioisotopes for diagnostic or therapeutic means; during the use of sealed sources for implantation in living tissue (brachytherapy); during the use of sealed sources at a distance from the patient for therapeutic purposes (teletherapy); to determine the environmental pathways for uncontrolled release of radioactive materials into biosphere; and for personnel protection during the applications of radioisotopes in medicine, biology, agriculture, and industry, including gamma ray and neutron radiography. It was concluded that available nuclear data are adequate for these purposes. (CH)
