Optimization of 124I production via 124Te(p,n)124I reaction.

(124)I was produced, via (124)Te(p,n)(124)I reaction, in greater than 3.7GBq (100 mCi, EOB) amount by bombarding (124)TeO(2) targets at 24 microA current for about 8h. This was achieved by keeping the target at 37 degrees relative to the beam during irradiation, by sweeping the beam across the target and by keeping the incident energy of the proton at 14.1MeV. The time-averaged yield of our 8h run was 21.1 MBq/microAh (0.57 mCi/microAh), which was 90% of the theoretical yield calculated using thick target yield data obtained from the reported excitation function for the reaction. At the end of bombardment, the level of (125)I and (126)I impurities, co-produced with (124)I, were 0.03% and 0.007%, respectively.

"Naked" radiopharmaceuticals.

The term "naked" radiopharmaceuticals, more appropriately, "unbound" radiopharmaceuticals, refers to any radioisotope used for clinical research or clinical purposes that is not attached to a chemical or biological carrier, and that localizes in various tissues because of a physiologic or chemical propensity/affinity, or secondary to focal anatomic placement. Although they remain useful in selected clinical circumstances, the available agents (except for Iodine-131) have been relegated to an unfortunate and somewhat secondary role. The agents remain useful and worthy of consideration for new clinical investigation and clinical use.

Model testing using data on 131I released from Hanford.

The Hanford test scenario described an accidental release of 131I to the environment from the Hanford Purex Chemical Separations Plant in September 1963. Based on monitoring data collected after the release, this scenario was used by the Dose Reconstruction Working Group of BIOMASS to test models typically used in dose reconstructions. The primary exposure pathway in terms of contribution to human doses was ingestion of contaminated milk and vegetables. Predicted mean doses to the thyroid of reference individuals from ingestion of 131I ranged from 0.0001 to 0.8 mSv. For one location, predicted doses to the thyroids of two children with high milk consumption ranged from 0.006 to 2 mSv. The predicted deposition at any given location varied among participants by a factor of 5-80. The exercise provided an opportunity for comparison of assessment methods and conceptual approaches, testing model predictions against measurements, and identifying the most important contributors to uncertainty in the assessment result. Key factors affecting predictions included the approach to handling incomplete data, interpretation of input information, selection of parameter values, adjustment of models for site-specific conditions, and treatment of uncertainties.
