Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Special dosimetry study of experimental rats exposure by sprayed 56Mn powder was conducted during experiments in order to study internal irradiation effects. All experiments were performed in Kurchatov’s reactor complex «Baikal-1» (Kurchatov city, East-Kazakhstan region) after neutron activation of stable Mn powder. This study was performed by group of scientists from Japan, Kazakhstan, and Russian Federation. The results of estimated doses in lungs alveolar epithelium of rats are shown in this paper. Absorbed dose on the «surface» of epitelium is equal to 160 Gy and absorbed dose in the «bottom» of epithelium for minimal thickness of epithelium cells is 8.9 Gy and for maximal thickness of epithelium cells equal to 0.4 Gy.
