Show FEBRUARY 2, 1970 OIL & MINING JOURNAL Page 2 Doctors Make Use of Atom By Glenn T. Seaborg, Chairman U. S. Atomic Energy Commission To most people the term radioactive material signifies something dangerous something from which you'd better keep your distance if youre not trained and equipped to handle it. But while this may be generally true, there are more than one million people every year who drink an atomic cocktail and do so under doctor's Agsiu Mines finds 5 veins of gold, silver on claims John C. Lawrence, President of Agau Mines, Inc. advises that . the preliminary exploration program of the company's properties, described in the Agau Mines prospectus used by it in connection with its recent public offering of its securities, has been completed. Five silver and gold bearing veins were mapped and sampled, Mr. Lawrence said. One of these veins, known as the Contact vein" was traced for more than 4,000 feet horizontally and nearly 1,000 feet vertically. silver-gol- d orders. What is an atomic cocktail? It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless mixture of a radioactive isowater and iodine-13and also tQ tope, used to diagnose treat thyroid disorders. This radioisotope is one of more than 30 being used successfully throughout the world to diagnose and treat a variety of human Dr. Seaborg .ailments. A great many lives are saved and much suffering alleviated through the use of such medical isotopes. Today in the United States radioisotopes are used some eight million times every year in diagnostic tests and various methods of treatment. Some isotopes are used in many ways. For example, iodine-13- 1 can also help in the diagnosis of liver and kidney problems, can help locate brain tumors, and help doctors is study blood volume and cardiac output. Phosphorus-3- 2 being used to treat leukemia and some types of bone cancer. Several radioisotopes strontium-85- , fluorine-1- 8 gallium-6calcium-47 and are used to detect bone diseases. Other medical uses of radioisotopes include yttrium-9- 0 for pituitary 8 to offer relief in lung cancer and gland therapy, gold-19sodium-2- 2 to diagnose circulatory disorders. These are only some of the many medical isotopes that are used internally injected into, or ingested by, the patients. In another type of internal treatment radioactive sources are placed near or implanted directly into the diseased area. One of these treatments involves the use of a wire made of chromium-51- . Since the radioactivity of the isotope diminishes to half in 27 days the wire can be left in the patient without fear of an overdose. A type of tumor irradiation from an external radioactive has been very successful in treating source, such as cobalt-60- , some types of cancer. And in treating leukemia, we have even irradiated the patients blood outside his body by causing it to flow through plastic tubes past a radioactive source to kill cancerous cells, and then back into his body. These are only a few of many ways we are using radioactive materials medically to help diagnose and treat disease to help save human lives. 1, 8, as Stage 1 The development program described as Stage 2 in the prospectus will begin this spring. A tunnel will be driven within the contact vein from a low elevation for exploration of its mineralization. Mr. Lawrence advised that the company has no proven commercial ore body at the present.
