AbstractAbstract
[en] Radiation control panels with programmed systems have been developed at the CEA. Each monitoring station contains a radiation detector and associated electronics and an alarm unit to warn personnel of any danger within the detection zone. The need to make the control panels more reliable and available and, at the same time, more flexible has led to the use of a microprocessor in each unit. The monitoring station thus became autonomous, processing the signal from its detector and translating it into dose equivalent rate or contamination level and triggering the light and sound signals. The central mini-computer, which formerly handled the alarm system, is given over to record-keeping tasks and may be dispensed with in small-scale facilities. (H.K.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Developments in radiation protection systems which have occurred within the CEA are described. Such systems enable irradiation and contamination risks to be quantitatively determined and monitored. A monitoring station is defined to be a suitable radiation detector (with its associated electronics) and audible and visible means of alerting personnel. The outputs from all the monitoring stations are fed to a central control station where they are recorded and acted upon. The practical experience obtained using microprocessors on the monitoring stations and a minicomputer in the central station is discussed; 30 units are connected to the central minicomputer in order to control an effluent treatment plant.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a novel arterial spin-labeling technique to characterize regions of hyper- and hypovascularity in experimental tumors in rabbits. Methods: VX2 tumors were implanted bilaterally in the thigh musculature of 17 New Zealand white rabbits. MR imaging sequences included a T2-weighted sequence and the arterial spin-labeling technique, flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery with an extraradiofrequency pulse (FAIRER). Areas of viable and non-viable tumor were estimated based on the spin echo imaging sequences. Perfusion images were obtained from a magnitude subtraction of the labeled from the unlabeled images from the FAIRER sequence. Region of interest (ROI) analysis was performed in muscle, viable tumor regions, and necrotic tumor regions. Mean ROI signal intensities for viable tumor vs. muscle and necrotic tumor vs. muscle were compared using the student t-test. Results: Spin echo imaging demonstrated tumors in 30 of 34 thighs. Perfusion images were successfully obtained in all cases. The mean of signal intensity in muscle was 5.0 ± 0.8. The means of signal intensity in tumor were 11.7 ± 3.9 (left side) and 11.0 ± 3.1 (right side). The difference between muscle and tumor was statistically significant (P<0.001 for both sides). In all cases the calculated ratios of tumor vs. muscle were larger than 1, ranging from 1.2 to 5.1, indicating higher perfusion in tumor. There was no significant difference between left-sided tumors and right-sided tumors (P=0.59). Mean ROI were significantly less in regions of necrotic tumor compared to those in muscle (P<0.001). Conclusion: The FAIRER technique offers a simple method for non-invasive characterization of blood flow to vascular tumors. This technique may be valuable in diagnosing hypervascular areas of tumors that would be amenable to preoperative embolization. (authors)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The k0-standardization method on the 241Am–Be isotopic neutron source has been studied and developed. In this paper, the characteristics of the neutron spectrum in an isotropic neutron field of 241Am–Be isotopic neutron sources was experimentally determined by dual monitor method using measured cadmium ratios of 197Au(n, γ)198Au and 98Mo(n, γ)99Mo(β−)99mTc reactions. Application of the k0-standardization method for the determination of elemental concentrations such as Al, Mn and Na in cement is carried out as well. The obtained results are in agreement with other analyses. - Highlights: ► Development of k0-INAA standardization method for neutron activation using Am–Be source. ► Efficiency of HPGe detector was determined with cylinder and foil samples. ► Characteristic of neutron spectrum of Am–Be source was measured using dual monitor cadmium ratio method of Au and Mo monitor. ► Analyses of concentration of Al, Na and Mn in cement samples was carried out.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Considering the importance of thorium data and concerning about the accuracy of Th-232 cross section library, a series of experiments of thorium critical core carried out at KUCA facility of Kyoto Univ. Research Reactor Inst. have been analyzed. The core was composed of pure thorium plates and 93% enriched uranium plates, solid polyethylene moderator with hydro to U-235 ratio of 140 and Th-232 to U-235 ratio of 15.2. Calculations of the effective multiplication factor, control rod worth, reactivity worth of Th plates have been conducted by MVP code using JENDL-4.0 library [1]. At the experiment site, after achieving the critical state with 51 fuel rods inserted inside the reactor, the measurements of the reactivity worth of control rod and thorium sample are carried out. By comparing with the experimental data, the calculation overestimates the effective multiplication factor about 0.90%. Reactivity worth of the control rods evaluation using MVP is acceptable with the maximum discrepancy about the statistical error of the measured data. The calculated results agree to the measurement ones within the difference range of 3.1% for the reactivity worth of one Th plate. From this investigation, further experiments and research on Th-232 cross section library need to be conducted to provide more reliable data for thorium based fuel core design and safety calculation.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights: • Glyphosate and its degradation product AMPA have accumulated in the environment. • Chronic low dose effects on animals and humans have been documented recently. • Shifts in microbial community composition in soil, plants and animal guts resulted. • Glyphosate and antibiotic resistance have arisen in fungi and bacteria in parallel. • Glyphosate may serve as one of the drivers for antibiotic resistance. The herbicide glyphosate, N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine, has been used extensively in the past 40 years, under the assumption that side effects were minimal. However, in recent years, concerns have increased worldwide about the potential wide ranging direct and indirect health effects of the large scale use of glyphosate. In 2015, the World Health Organization reclassified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans. A detailed overview is given of the scientific literature on the movement and residues of glyphosate and its breakdown product aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA) in soil and water, their toxicity to macro- and microorganisms, their effects on microbial compositions and potential indirect effects on plant, animal and human health. Although the acute toxic effects of glyphosate and AMPA on mammals are low, there are animal data raising the possibility of health effects associated with chronic, ultra-low doses related to accumulation of these compounds in the environment. Intensive glyphosate use has led to the selection of glyphosate-resistant weeds and microorganisms. Shifts in microbial compositions due to selective pressure by glyphosate may have contributed to the proliferation of plant and animal pathogens. Research on a link between glyphosate and antibiotic resistance is still scarce but we hypothesize that the selection pressure for glyphosate-resistance in bacteria could lead to shifts in microbiome composition and increases in antibiotic resistance to clinically important antimicrobial agents. We recommend interdisciplinary research on the associations between low level chronic glyphosate exposure, distortions in microbial communities, expansion of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of animal, human and plant diseases. Independent research is needed to revisit the tolerance thresholds for glyphosate residues in water, food and animal feed taking all possible health risks into account.
