Description

A feasibility study has been carried out on the radiation stability and sterilizability of pharmaceuticals and into the decontamination of the raw materials used in their manufacture. Physicochemical studies, pulse radiolysis, electron spin resonance, microbiological studies and studies of dose limits have been carried out, and followed by clinical trials on humans. (U.K.)
