11. Late or delayed effects of radiation occur following a wide range of doses and dose rates . 12. Prior to HDR, LDR ( Low Dose Rate )-braky therapy was commonly in use for prostate cancer. 13. Electron beams use an on-off technology and provide a much higher dosing rate than gamma or x-rays. 14. We expect this ( Pit Viper ) may reduce personnel dose rates by up to 75 percent. 15. At this dose rate , a person exposed to the radiation would receive a lethal dose in 1 hour. 16. The exact dose rate remains unknown as the technicians fled the place after their first measurement went off-scale. 17. One reason for such a relatively low-dose rate is the extensive measures taken in the plant to monitor exposure. 18. This allows the summation by dosimeters of all radiation exposure, without taking into consideration dose levels or dose rates . 19. Restarting a Remodulin infusion within a few hours after an interruption can be done using the same dose rate . 20. Due to the higher dose rate , less exposure time is needed and thereby any potential degradation to polymers is reduced.
