Dosimetry and radiation protection in industry

Oral Presentation

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) measurements for Nickel-doped borate glass, xLi2O.(1 − x − y)B2O3 + yNiO, where x = 0.33 and y = 0.05, have been conducted at The Photon Factory, Tsukuba, Japan. The X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) at the energy-region just above the nickel K-edge (8333eV) includes a superimposed X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). XAFS measurements have the...

25. Forensic dosimetry study of the tooth and bone samples collected from US former nuclear workers

Alexander Romanyukha (Uniformed University of the Health Sciences, Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute)

6/8/26, 3:00 PM

Dosimetry and radiation protection in industry

Oral Presentation

The United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR) was established in 1968 by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The Registries collect post-mortem tissue and organ samples, including teeth, from occupationally exposed individuals who voluntarily donate their bodies. By maintaining comprehensive dosimetry records and bioassay data, the USTUR serves as a unique resource for verifying...

71. Photon Attenuation and Mechanical Performance of Hybrid Iron–Bismuth Oxide Reinforced Polydimethylsiloxane Composites for Diagnostic Radiation Shielding

Dr Izdihar Kamal (Department of Physics Universiti Putra Malaysia)

6/8/26, 3:15 PM

Dosimetry and radiation protection in industry

Oral Presentation

The demand for lightweight, flexible, and lead-free radiation shielding materials in diagnostic imaging continues to increase due to concerns regarding cumulative radiation exposure and toxicity of conventional shields. In this study, hybrid iron–bismuth oxide (Fe–Bi₂O₃) reinforced polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites were developed and evaluated for their photon attenuation performance and...

74. Assessment of the radiological impact of refractory zircon waste recovery in the ceramic industry

Pablo Martorell Doménech (Universitat Politècnica de València)

6/8/26, 4:00 PM

Dosimetry and radiation protection in industry

Oral Presentation

The valorisation of refractory waste containing zirconium compounds is of particular interest due to their properties and high cost. This waste can be recycled not only in the refractory materials industry but also, increasingly, in the ceramics industry. However, this refractory waste is NORM due to the presence of impurities from radioactive elements in the natural decay chains of U-238 and...

182. Uncertainty in Plutonium Dose Modeling: Lessons from USTUR Autopsy Data

Dr Maia Avtandilashvili (United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries, Washington State University)

6/8/26, 4:15 PM

Dosimetry and radiation protection in industry

Oral Presentation

The ICRP biokinetic and dosimetric models do not explicitly incorporate dosimetric uncertainty. Time‑dependent radionuclide activity retained in organs is directly related to radiation dose; hence, uncertainties in biokinetic model predictions of organ activities can be used as surrogates for uncertainties in dose. Bayesian methods, which provide full posterior dose distributions rather than...
