Abstract

The topics for this month's issue are: (1) ''Translating Vision into Reality''; (2) ''A Question of Quarks''--Scientists may have created a quark-gluon plasma, a form of matter never before seen on Earth; (3) ''Island Paradise Regained''--Forty-five years after atmospheric nuclear testing ceased, Livermore's environmental scientists continue to develop ways of assessing and limiting radiation exposure associated with resettlement efforts in the Marshall islands; and (4) ''Understanding Cells in a New Way with Three-Dimensional Models''--Researchers are taking a first step toward a comprehensive, three-dimensional model of a living cell by simulating calcium ions moving within and between epithelial cells.

Individual Radiation Protection Monitoring in the Marshall Islands: Utrok Atoll (2003-2004)

Technical Report Hamilton, T F ; Kehl, S ; Hickman, D ; ...

The United States Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) has recently implemented a series of strategic initiatives to address long-term radiological surveillance needs at former U.S. nuclear test sites in the Marshall Islands. The plan is to engage local atoll communities in developing shared responsibilities for implementing radiation protection monitoring programs for resettled and resettling populations in the northern Marshall Islands. Using the pooled resources of the U.S. DOE and local atoll governments, individual radiological surveillance programs have been developed in whole body counting and plutonium urinalysis in order to accurately assess radiation doses resulting from the ingestion and uptake ofmore »« less

The United States Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) has recently implemented a series of strategic initiatives to address long-term radiological surveillance needs at former U.S. nuclear test sites in the Marshall Islands (https://eed.llnl.gov/mi/). Local atoll governments have been actively engaged in developing shared responsibilities for protecting the health and safety of resettled and resettling population at risk from exposure to elevated levels of residual fallout contamination in the environment. Under the program, whole body counting facilities have been established at three locations in the Marshall Islands. These facilities are operated and maintained by Marshallese technicians with scientists from the Lawrencemore »« less

Low-Level Plutonium Bioassay Measurements at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Technical Report Hamilton, T ; Brown, T ; Hickman, D ; ...

Plutonium-239 ({sup 239}Pu) and plutonium-240 ({sup 240}Pu) are important alpha emitting radionuclides contained in radioactive debris from nuclear weapons testing. {sup 239}Pu and {sup 240}Pu are long-lived radionuclides with half-lives of 24,400 years and 6580 years, respectively. Concerns over human exposure to plutonium stem from knowledge about the persistence of plutonium isotopes in the environment and the high relative effectiveness of alpha-radiation to cause potential harm to cells once incorporated into the human body. In vitro bioassay tests have been developed to assess uptakes of plutonium based on measured urinary excretion patterns and modeled metabolic behaviors of the absorbed radionuclides.more »« less
