Statistically significant bivariate relationships were found between log-transformed urine Cr concentration and Cr dust concentration (micrograms of Cr per gram of dust) but not Cr dust loading (nanogram Cr per square centimeter).
According to the present knowledge available, austenitic stainless steels with high Cr concentration show better performance and are more potential to be the references for developing the SCWR fuel cladding material.
Other study demonstrated that the long-term prognosis of renal amyloidosis is significantly poorer if Cr concentration at the time of biopsy is 1.3 mg/dl or more [ 16].
Heating time also affected the Cr concentration at the surface; the longer the heating time, the higher the Cr concentration.
A time-limited reduction in Cr concentration also occurred.
The observed optimum Cr concentration of 2 at.
Beyond this Cr concentration, the effective minority carrier lifetime decreases.
Concerning changes in Cr concentration over time, there was no significant diurnal variation in fecal Cr excretion within treatments.
However, at highest Cr concentration level, noticeable modifications were observed.
These findings confirm that new protein is synthesized in response to high Cr concentration ([Cr]), which then acts to limit Cr uptake (P < 0.0001 by 2-way ANOVA).
