INDUSTRIAL TRACER APPLICATIONS IN CANADA

Journal Article · · Nucleonics (U.S.) Ceased publication
OSTI ID:4132749
Tracer uses have not grown as rapidly throughout the world as the more sanguine predictions suggested. In contrast to the reluctance of industries to accept tracer techniques, the medical and biological professions in Canada make wide-spread use of radionuclides. Reasons why tracer applications are not more wide-spread are discussed, and areas in which tracer techniques are being utilized are pointed out. Methods by which valuable industrial information can be obtained through the use of tracers are reviewed. The full potential of tracer applications will not be realized until there is a more realistic approach to the use of radioactive materials in industry. This requires further explanations of commercial benefits and tests feasible under plant conditions. (B.O.G.)
