Physical Dosimetry

Internal dose assessment

• In-vivo bioassay

  

  Analyze gamma-emitting radionuclides by directly measuring human body

• In-vitro bioassay

  

  Analyze gamma and alpha/beta-emitting radionuclides by using biological samples (urine, feces, etc.)

External Dose assessment

• Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)

  

  Assess exposure using biological samples (finger nails, teeth) and one’s possessed items (cell phone, watch glass)

• Computational Dosimetry

  

  Reconstruct exposure situation based on Monte Carlo simulation and assess exposure using standard physical phantom

Biological Dosimetry

KIRAMS-NREMC is entrusted with the task of supporting nuclear licensees to enhance their medical preparedness and response at nuclear facilities.

• Dicentric Analysis

  

  Assess exposure by scoring unstable chromosome aberrations that decrease through a cell division

• Translocation Analysis

  

  Assess exposure by scoring stable chromosome aberrations that remain after a cell division

• Developing G-banding techniques

  

  Identify both unstable and stable chromo some aberrations by detailed chromosome analysis
