  • Quality control test in this field of study were carried out in 3 categories, radionuclidic purity, chemical purity and radiochemical purity. Also, indication efficiency was tested every 3 hours changed after binding the radiopharmaceutical to see how long the medicine is available for usage after indicating. The result showed that currently used radiopharmaceutical have good radionuclidic purity and chemical purity. However, radiochemical purity indication showed small differences depending on indication method and indication period. Radiopharmaceutical are indicated by treatment providers, so they need to pay more attention to the indication process and quality control to provide more efficient treatment.

  • Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain radioisotopes and are used in the diagnosis, treatment, or investigation of diseases. Radiopharmaceuticals must be manufactured in compliance with good manufacturing practice regulations and subjected to quality control before they are administered to patients to ensure the safety of the drug. Radiopharmaceuticals for administration to humans need to be sterile and pyrogen-free. Hence, sterility tests and membrane filter integrity tests are carried out to confirm the asepticity of the finished drug product, and a bacterial endotoxin test conducted to assess contamination, if any, by pyrogens. The physical appearance and the absence of foreign insoluble substances should be confirmed by a visual inspection. The chemical purity, residual solvents, and pH should be evaluated because residual by-products and impurities in the finished product can be harmful to patients. The half-life, radiochemical purity, radionuclidic purity, and strength need to be assessed by analyzing the radiation emitted from radiopharmaceuticals to verify that the radioisotope contents are properly labeled on pharmaceuticals. Radiopharmaceuticals always carry the risk of radiation exposure. Therefore, the time taken for quality control tests should be minimized and care should be taken to prevent radiation exposure during handling. This review discusses the quality control procedures and acceptance criteria for a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical.

  • Recycling of radioactively contaminated metal wasles is very attractive to reduce thc final disposal volumc of the radioactive wastes, thereby maximizing the usage of nahrral rzsuunts and minimizmg the detrimental effects of thz rzdioaclive wastes on the environment. In the recycling process, many complicated processes arc involved. Among those processes the 'surface contamination removal techniques such as physical, chemical and electrochern~calm ethods are the most critical and Ircquently applied in accordance with the contamination characteristics and the chemical compositions of the metal wastes. In this sludy, the sulfuric acid-cerium method and electmchemical methods were applied lu removc the conatiminated suhce. The results showed the surface contaminalion could he lowered to the background levcl by lhasc mclhods.

  • Radiation-induced cis-trans isomerization of ${\beta}$-styrylnaphthalene is studied by determination of G values and the radiostationary states. The results are compared with data obtained in direct and sensitized photoisomerization of the compound. Both the excited singlet and triplet states are involved in the isomerization of ${\beta}$-styrylnaphthalene in the radiolysis of benzene solution.
