Division of Biological and Environmental Research and Safety Subject: Nonportable Blood Ir radiator A1 ter natives Based on discussions between yourself and Bat tell e staff members (Drs. W. J. Bair and 3. H. Jarrett)in late calendar year 1973, we are pleased t o submit the attached evaluation of nonportable blood ir radiator alternatives. This evaluation compares several ir radiator design approaches and recommends a single approach t o make a nonportable blood ir radiator available to the AEC for clinical evaluation by an investigator on another AEC-DBERS program (Dr. We estimate that the nonportable ir radiator could be supplied for $15,000 in four months after the effort is authorized by AEC-DBERS. addition to our present program funds (RX-01-03) for this effort. Shou1.d this not be possible, $15,000 could be transferred from the 13N Generator Program We recomnend an This transfer would mean reducing the scope of activities on the I3N Generator Program for FY-1974 and postponing certain tasks to FY-7975. An overview of the technical practicability and ultimate system economies will still be completed for the I3N generator i n FY-1974; however, detailed analysis and more definite recommendations for further program effort would be deferred
