Dousset, G. Pardoi M. Penotet (C.E.A., Paris, France) Health Physics, Vol. 12, No. 1: 15-27. January 1966. In French. Among the various hazards arising from the inhalation of fresh fission products, irradiation of the thyroid is important. This paper is concerned with 239 Pu fast neutron fission products and only bears on the case of a criticality accident when all the fissions occur within a very short lapse of time. The dose delivered to the thyroid by the several iodine isotopes after the inhalation of 1 mc of fission products has been calculated as a function of the time elapsed between plutonium fission and inhalation. The presence of the parents of the iodine isotopes in the mixture of fission products has been taken into account. 13 references. (auth.) I. 11 l -3- Biology 6 Medicine (Cont'd) 1751.

Injection Tables, p. 5-62. Pu239 was one of five radio- nuclides injected in two groups of dogs - toxicity animals which will be maintained until sacrifice becomes a clinical necessity and test animals which may be sacrificed as needed for special studies. The injection history of each animal is given in tables, and comments made on the condition of the dead dogs. (B.G.R.)

Two massive doses of cortisol were given to mobilize Pu239 to make it available for chelation by Na3CaDTPA and subsequent excretion. :No practically significant increase in excretion was observed, and there was no significant removal of Pu 2 ·39 from the dog's liver.

The behavior of Pu(V) in nitric acid solutions was in- vestigated within the interval pH = 2-6. It was shown that within the investigated pH region, the process of disproportionation influences the stability of Pu(V) solutions to a considerably lesser degree than the processes of oxidation and reductiob by radiolysis products. The basic causes of the instability of Pu(V) solutions of different concentrations within the interval pH = 2-6 were elucidated. The interval of pH values within which solutions of Pu(V) are the most stable was determined. 21 references. (auth.) 1754. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION SEMIANNUAL REPORT. JULY-DECEMBER, 1964.

  • Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Procedure
    Environmental Health and Safety Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Procedure Date of Issuance: 10/2019 Revision Date: 5/27/2021 Revision Number: 1 Prepared by: EHS 1. Scope and Background The Carnegie Mellon University Toxic and Highly Toxic Gas Handling Program specifies minimum requirements for safe storage, use, and handling of toxic and highly toxic gas at Carnegie Mellon University. This program has been approved by the Laboratory Safety Committee. This document: • summarizes the health and safety risks associated with toxic and highly toxic gas use and handling; • identifies exposure control methods to protect employee’s safety and health and the environment; • outlines regulatory and university requirements related to this work; • specifies emergency response procedures for addressing toxic gas issues; and • provides resources for further information. Toxic and highly toxic gases are gases that may cause significant acute health effects at low concentrations. Health effects may include severe skin or eye irritation, pulmonary edema, neurotoxicity or other potentially fatal conditions. The criteria used to establish the materials addressed by this policy are: • A National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) health rating of 3 or 4 • An NFPA health rating of 2 with poor physiological warning properties • Pyrophoric (self-igniting) characteristics, OR • An extremely low occupational exposure limits in the absence of an NFPA health rating. Table 1 identifies common gases that meet the criteria of toxic or highly toxic, though it is
