Popis:	The trial apparatus manufactured for the decontamination of urine of patients treated with131Iconsists of two types of vessels, A and B. In the type of A, the urine is poured from the upper portion of the vessel and flows from the upper portion of the outer pipe of the vessel through a siphon. In the type of B, the urine is forced from the lower portion of the vessel and flows out from the upper portion. Type B vessel can be connected to B type vessel as well as to type A vessel.Seven litters of charcoal mixed with resin was put into the A type vessel and the absorption rate of131Iin water was almost 100 percent after treatment by this type A vessel. The 5.5 litters of ion exchange resin was put into the B type vessel with an absorption rate was 99.9 percent after treatment by the B type.These results show that this trial apparatus connecting vessels of type A and B can be practically used for the decontamination of urine of a large number of patients treated with131I.
