* Nuclear cardiology: The use of nuclear medicine to visualize the uptake of an isotope by the heart using radioactive sources.

< sup > 177 </ sup > Lu-DOTA-TATE is used for radionuclide therapy ( see Nuclear medicine ) on neuroendocrine tumours.

* Nuclear technology, applications of nuclear energy including nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear weapons

Management began liquidating the organization, but due to shareholder issues, instead acquired Nuclear Consultants, Inc., a nuclear medicine or nuclear industry services organization ( unclear ), and renamed the combined company " Nuclear Corporation of America, Inc ."

* Nuclear medicine-The laboratory's nuclear medicine research is focused on the development of improved reactor production and processing methods to provide medical radioisotopes, the development of new radionuclide generator systems, the design and evaluation of new radiopharmaceuticals for applications in nuclear medicine and oncology.

Nuclear medicine typically involves gamma rays.

Research and promotion of civil uses of radioactive materials, such as for nuclear non-destructive testing, nuclear medicine, and nuclear power, was split into the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science & Technology within ERDA by the same act.

* Nuclear medicine, including single photon emission computed tomography ( SPECT ) and positron emission tomography ( PET )

* Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine encompasses both diagnostic imaging and treatment of disease, and may also be referred to as molecular medicine or molecular imaging & therapeutics.

Nuclear medicine uses certain properties of isotopes and the energetic particles emitted from radioactive material to diagnose or treat various pathology.

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Nuclear medicine, in a sense, is " radiology done inside out " or " endo-radiology " because it records radiation emitting from within the body rather than radiation that is generated by external sources like X-rays.

Nuclear medicine is a possible specialty for adapting to the new discipline of molecular medicine, because of its emphasis on function and its utilization of imaging agents that are specific for a particular disease process.

Nuclear medicine imaging studies are generally more organ or tissue specific ( e. g.: lungs scan, heart scan, bone scan, brain scan, etc.

Eventually the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty banning underwater nuclear tests went into effect.

Nuclear tests were conducted in the region around Christmas Island by the United Kingdom in the late 1950s, and by the United States in 1962.

Nuclear claims between the U. S. and the Marshall Islands are ongoing, and health effects from these nuclear tests linger.

Nuclear tests at Enewatak have left islanders there suffering from Cancer and birth defects.

* 1998 – Nuclear testing: Pakistan responds to a series of nuclear tests by India with five of its own codenamed Chagai-I, prompting the United States, Japan, and other nations to impose economic sanctions.

After the Pakistan's atomic tests, Mehmood became an outspoken opponent of the Prime minister Nawaz Sharif's government, as he was against signing of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty by Pakistan.

The Nuclear Suppliers Group ( NSG ) was formed in reaction to the Indian tests to check international nuclear proliferation.

North Korea and Iran were seen as strong nuclear threats, following two North Korea nuclear tests, and Iran's failure to comply with its transparency obligations under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and UN resolutions.

* July 1 – Nuclear testing: Operation Crossroads, a series of nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States at Bikini Atoll in Micronesia, is initiated by detonation of Able at an altitude of 520 feet ( 158 m ).

* May 28 – Nuclear testing: In response to a series of Indian nuclear tests, Pakistan explodes 5 nuclear devices of its own in the Chaghai hills of Baluchistan, codenamed Chagai-I, prompting the United States, Japan and other nations to impose economic sanctions.

It began in 1958 and ended in 1965, after the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963 banned nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere and in space.

The United States suspected that the USSR might attempt to conduct secret nuclear tests after signing the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

While a nuclear penetrator ( the " Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator ", or " RNEP ") was never built, the U. S. DOE was allotted budget to develop it, and tests were conducted by the U. S. Air Force Research Laboratory.

In February 2012, North Korea announced that it would suspend uranium enrichment at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center and not conduct any further tests of nuclear weapons while productive negotiations involving the United States continue.

Operation Argus was a series of nuclear weapons tests and missile tests secretly conducted during August and September 1958 over the South Atlantic Ocean by the United States's Defense Nuclear Agency, in conjunction with the Explorer 4 space mission.

The Radiological / Nuclear WMD Incident Exercise Site ( T-1 ), which replicates multiple terrorist radiological incidents with train, plane, automobile, truck, and helicopter props is located in Area 1, at the former site of tests EASY, SIMON, APPLE-2, and GALILEO.

The American cardiologist Bernard Lown and the Russian cardiologist Yevgeniy Chazov were motivated in conscience through studying the catastrophic public health consequences of nuclear war in establishing International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War ( IPPNW ) which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985 and continues to work to " heal an ailing planet ". World wide expressions of conscience contributed to the decision of the French government to halt atmospheric nuclear tests at Mururoa in the Pacific in 1974 after 41 such explosions ( although below-ground nuclear tests continued there into the 1990s ).

Nuclear refugees from the atolls irradiated by the American tests were also moved to Ebeye, and in 1964, when the United States initiated its Anti-ballistic missile testing program with the Nike-Zeus program in Kwajalein Atoll, authorities moved also the remaining Marshall Islanders who lived scattered on their land throughout the atoll to the small shantytown of Ebeye which had been erected with plywood housing by American contractors.

Nuclear pharmacy focuses on preparing radioactive materials for diagnostic tests and for treating certain diseases.

Nuclear weapons tests are experiments carried out to determine the effectiveness, yield and explosive capability of nuclear weapons.

Nuclear weapons tests have historically been broken into four categories reflecting the medium or location of the test.

* United States: 1, 054 tests by official count ( involving at least 1, 151 devices, 331 atmospheric tests ), most at Nevada Test Site and the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands, with 10 other tests taking place at various locations in the United States, including Amchitka Alaska, Colorado, Mississippi, and New Mexico ( see Nuclear weapons and the United States for details ).
