SURVEY OF REACTOR FACILITIES FOR RADIATION BIOLOGY RESEARCH. Final Report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4027002
A comprehensive survey of unclassified literature was made regarding the application of nuclear reactors to biological research. The properties of reactor radiation are summarized. Principal attention is directed to techniques for modifying this radiation for biological experiments. The relative advantages of reactors as compared with other radiation sources are recapitulated. Safety, the effects of experiments on reactivity, and other reactor operating problems are discussed, as also are the costs and operating expenses of various types of installations, Reactor experimental facilities are described, with particular emphasis on biological experimental irradiation facilities. All known reactors being constructed or planned primarily for medical purposes are described, Appendices include a very extensive bibliography and a survey questionnaire, "Radiation Biology Research", previously issued as a separate document. In the survey, nearly all laboratories having experience in the field of radiation biology research replied to questions relating mainly to the application of nuclcar radiation in their own researches.
