Health Physics Parameter Analysis for the Mars 2020 Launch
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report describes research into three health physics parameters used by Launch Safety (LS) for which the appropriate value, distribution, or applicability came into question during preparation of the Mars 2020 LS analysis. These parameters and associated issues include the Dose and Dose Rate Effectiveness Factor (DDREF) and its use in health effects calculations, a methodology for translating projected contamination per unit area into dose to aquatic and terrestrial biota, and plutonium transfer factors for use in ingestion pathway consequence analyses.
