Purpose: A European network was initiated in 2012 by 23 partners from 16 countries with the aim to significantly increase individualized dose reconstruction case of large-scale radiological emergency scenarios.Results: The built on three complementary pillars: (1) an operational basis seven biological and physical dosimetric assays ready-to-use mode, (2) a for education, training quality assurance, (3) further development regarding new techniques members. Techniques individual estimation...
Purpose: RENEB, 'Realising the European Network of Biodosimetry and Physical Retrospective Dosimetry,' is a network for research emergency response mutual assistance in biodosimetry within EU. Within this extremely active network, number new dosimetry methods have recently been proposed or developed. There requirement to test and/or validate these candidate techniques inter-comparison exercises are well-established method such validation.Materials methods: The authors present details...
Creating a sustainable network in biological and retrospective dosimetry that involves large number of experienced laboratories throughout the European Union (EU) will significantly improve accident emergency response capabilities case large-scale radiological emergency. A well-organised cooperative action involving EU offer best chance for fast trustworthy dose assessments are urgently needed an situation. To this end, EC supports establishment (RENEB). The RENEB project started January...
Summary Reliability of the photo‐stimulated luminescence (PSL) technique, both as screening and identification methods, has been tested with several kinds irradiated herbs spices over a long period storage. To check influence storage modality on PSL response, samples were divided into groups kept in environments different light exposure. The results clearly indicate marked light‐induced bleaching signal, which may lead to false negative classification, significant percentage, for stored...
Summary Four different spices produced in Mexico, namely black pepper, two kinds of chilli and oregano, were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique for detection purposes. In all the non‐irradiated we tested, same single line signal at g = 2.0041 (native signal) was registered. Irradiation induced least EPR signals overlapping native signal: an intense singlet and, with exclusion a weak triplet hyperfine splitting 3 mT due to cellulose free radicals. The recombination...
To identify and assess, among the participants in RENEB (Realizing European Network of Biodosimetry) project, emergency preparedness, response capabilities resources that can be deployed event a radiological or nuclear accident/incident affecting large number individuals. These include available biodosimetry techniques, infrastructure, human (existing trained staff), financial organizational (including role national contact points their articulation with other stakeholders response) as well...
Scientific community and institutions (e. g., ICRP) consider that the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model, which extrapolates stochastic risk at low dose/low dose rate from moderate/high doses, provides a prudent basis for practical purposes of radiological protection. However, biological dose/dose responses challenge LNT model have been highlighted important dowels came radiobiology studies conducted in Deep Underground Laboratories (DULs). These extreme ultra-low radiation environments are...
Purpose: The RENEB accident exercise was carried out in order to train the participants coordinating and managing potentially large data sets that would be generated case of a major radiological event.Materials methods: Each participant offered possibility activate network by sending an alerting email about simulated radiation emergency. same had collect, compile report capacity, triage categorization exposure scenario results obtained from all other participants. performed over 27 weeks...
In the implementation of a large-scale dosimetry intercomparison one main constraints is availability large number dosemeters highest quality. Therefore, ISS tested possibility using commercially available dosemeters, alanine pellets and thermoluminescence (TL) chips, for transfer within Italian programme. this work characterisation commercial TL along with dose assessment procedure used in are reported. Results demonstrate feasibility approach to since it possible measure 10 Gy combined...
The treatment with high doses of ionizing radiation is prescribed for the terminal sterilization many healthcare products. In order to check product irradiation, it may be useful develop suitable detection methods. aim this work was verify suitability thermoluminescence (TL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques reveal illegal omission in glass used blood test tubes. particular, reports results analysis performed on two batches tubes provided by same manufacturer. indicated...
