Dose Estimation for Extravasation of 177Lu, 99mTc, and 18F
Health Physics, 124(3), 217–220.
author keywords: dose; absorbed; dosimetry; internal; Monte Carlo; radiation risk
MeSH headings : Radiation Dosage; Radiopharmaceuticals; Radioisotopes; Radiometry / methods
TL;DR:
To understand whether a radiopharmaceutical extravasation could exceed the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s medical event reporting limit of 0.5 Sv dose equivalent to tissue or levels at which tissue damage would be anticipated, the GATE Monte Carlo simulation software was used to calculate self-dose to spherical volumes containing uniformly distributed amounts of common radiophARMaceutical isotopes.

EVALUATION OF EXISTING PUBLIC DOSE LIMITS APPLIED TO RECREATIONAL SPACEFLIGHT
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 199(5), 482–489.
MeSH headings : Humans; Space Flight; Astronauts
TL;DR:
The necessity to come to a collective decision on dose limits and radiation safety procedures for recreational spaceflight is urgent and imperative to maintain ALARA goals, as existing federal dose limits to the public cannot be adequately or universally applied to the space tourism sector.
