Medical Devices Could be New Weapon in Stopping Radioactive Waste Seepage

摘要

Medical equipment used for diagnosing patients with heart disease and cancer could be a key weapon in stopping nuclear waste from seeping into the environment, according to new research.rnA team of scientists from the universities of Manchester and Leeds are working with nuclear medicine experts at Manchester Royal Infirmary to use medical gamma-ray cameras to track radioactive isotopes in soil samples from a U.S. civil nuclear site.
