    August 10, 2017 CONSIDERATIONS ON POTENTIAL REGULATORY ACTIONS FOR RADIATION PROTECTION IN RADIOTHERAPY: MONITORING UNWANTED RADIATION EXPOSURE IN RADIOTHERAPY A proposal for further discussion drafted by Autoridad Regulatoria Nuclear of Argentina and the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Product from the Practical Arrangements between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Autoridad Regulatoria Nuclear of Argentina on cooperation in the area of radiation safety and monitoring) Interim Document I. INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND (1) On September 18, 2015, the Autoridad Regulatoria Nuclear (ARN) 1 of Argentina and the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)2, hereinafter termed ‘the Parties’, agreed on ‘Practical Arrangements’ setting forth the framework for non-exclusive cooperation between the Parties in the area of radiation safety and monitoring. The agreement was reconfirmed and partially enhanced during ceremony presided by the Chairman of ARN, Néstor Masriera, and the Deputy Director General of the IAEA, Juan Carlos Lentijo, with the presence of the Argentine Ambassador, Rafael Mariano Grossi, in the framework of the 60th Annual Regular Session of the IAEA General Conference, in Vienna, on September 30, 2016. (2) The Practical Arrangements identify activities in which cooperation between the Parties may be pursued subject to their respective mandates, governing regulations, rules, policies and procedures. A relevant activity agreed to be pursued is the ‘development of regulatory guidance

  • CHAPTER XXX. of Fallacies. Section 827. After Examining the Conditions on Which Correct Thoughts Depend, It Is Expedient to Clas
    CHAPTER XXX. Of Fallacies. Section 827. After examining the conditions on which correct thoughts depend, it is expedient to classify some of the most familiar forms of error. It is by the treatment of the Fallacies that logic chiefly vindicates its claim to be considered a practical rather than a speculative science. To explain and give a name to fallacies is like setting up so many sign-posts on the various turns which it is possible to take off the road of truth. Section 828. By a fallacy is meant a piece of reasoning which appears to establish a conclusion without really doing so. The term applies both to the legitimate deduction of a conclusion from false premisses and to the illegitimate deduction of a conclusion from any premisses. There are errors incidental to conception and judgement, which might well be brought under the name; but the fallacies with which we shall concern ourselves are confined to errors connected with inference. Section 829. When any inference leads to a false conclusion, the error may have arisen either in the thought itself or in the signs by which the thought is conveyed. The main sources of fallacy then are confined to two-- (1) thought, (2) language. Section 830. This is the basis of Aristotle's division of fallacies, which has not yet been superseded. Fallacies, according to him, are either in the language or outside of it. Outside of language there is no source of error but thought. For things themselves do not deceive us, but error arises owing to a misinterpretation of things by the mind.

Their radioresistance is than that of C. elegans (1). Instead, it has been proposed that a not caused by reduced susceptibility to DNA double-strand break- major contributor to bdelloid radiation resistance is an enhanced age for IR makes double-strand breaks (DSBs) in bdelloids with capacity for scavenging reactive molecular species generated by IR essentially the same efficiency as in other species, regardless of and that the proteins and other cellular components thereby radiosensitivity. Instead, we find that the bdelloid Adineta vaga is protected include those essential for the repair of DSBs but not far more resistant to IR-induced protein carbonylation than is the DNA itself (1). In agreement with this explanation, we find that much more radiosensitive nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.In A. vaga is far more resistant than C. elegans to IR-induced protein both species, the dose–response for protein carbonylation parallels carbonylation, a reaction of hydroxyl radicals with accessible side that for fecundity reduction, manifested as embryonic death.

  • Exemplifying an Archetypal Thorium-EPS Complexation by Novel Thoriotolerant Providencia Thoriotolerans
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exemplifying an archetypal thorium‑EPS complexation by novel thoriotolerant Providencia thoriotolerans AM3 Arpit Shukla 1,2, Paritosh Parmar 1, Dweipayan Goswami 1, Baldev Patel1 & Meenu Saraf 1* It is the acquisition of unique traits that adds to the enigma of microbial capabilities to carry out extraordinary processes. One such ecosystem is the soil exposed to radionuclides, in the vicinity of atomic power stations. With the aim to study thorium (Th) tolerance in the indigenous bacteria of such soil, the bacteria were isolated and screened for maximum thorium tolerance. Out of all, only one strain AM3, found to tolerate extraordinary levels of Th (1500 mg L−1), was identifed to be belonging to genus Providencia and showed maximum genetic similarity with the type strain P. vermicola OP1T. This is the frst report suggesting any bacteria to tolerate such high Th and we propose to term such microbes as ‘thoriotolerant’. The medium composition for cultivating AM3 was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) which also led to an improvement in its Th‑tolerance capabilities by 23%. AM3 was found to be a good producer of EPS and hence one component study was also employed for its optimization. Moreover, the EPS produced by the strain showed interaction with Th, which was deduced by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Te afermaths of atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945), more than 2000 nuclear tests (1945–2017), the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster (1986) and more recently, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), highlight the release of considerable radioactive waste (radwaste) to the environment use of various radionuclides has led to the creation of considerable radioactive waste (radwaste).
