Publications list of the United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries, 1968--1993

Abstract

The United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR) began with the establishment of the National Plutonium Registry in 1968. In 1910, the name was changed to the United States Transuranium Registry to reflect a broader concern with the entire spectrum of transuranium elements, and in 1918, a parallel but separate United States Uranium Registry was created to study the uranium decay series. With similar goals of understanding the biokinetics, dosimetry, and potential health effects of transuranic elements and uranium series based on actual human experience, the two registries were administratively joined in February 1992. Accordingly, compilation and publication of a complete listing and collection of Registries publications for from the inception through July 1993 was undertaken to coincide with the silver anniversary of the Registries. The following criteria were established for the various categories of publications included in the listing of publications: Journal Articles and Conference Proceedings -- Comprised of all known publications in the open peer reviewed scientific literature for research and related activities carried out, funded, or otherwise sponsored, wholly or in part, by the Registries. The peer reviewed literature was taken to include scientific journals and formal published proceedings of scientific meetings. Annual Reports -- These aremore » annual or progress reports published by the Registries. Miscellaneous Publications -- These are professional or scientific publications of staff affiliated with the Registries at the time of publication that do not fit into the above categories. Included are abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, articles from the peer reviewed scientific literature and technical reports. Books and Book Chapters -- This category consists of scientific or technical books and book chapters authored by professional staff affiliated with the Registries at the time of preparation.« less
