The request for an expert was initiated by the Thai Atomic Energy Commission for Peace through the UN Technical Assistance Board to the IAEA. In one of the pilot experiments carried out, radiocarbon compounds are fed to a snake and the radio-activity count of the extracted snake venom is subsequently checked. The liquid venom is then dried out to give it a crystalline preparation. Here, transferring the various batches of crystalline venom to sealed bottles for long term preservation and further measurements, are (from left): Dr. Romsai SUVANIK and Miss Phenkae RAKTABUTR, R.N. — both of the Department of Radiology at Siriraj Hospital, and Mr. VEALL, the IAEA expert.
