TRAINING MANUAL FOR RADIATION MONITORING TEAMS. Vol. 21, No. 28

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4084642
Basic information and guidance are presented for the training of radiation-monitoring teams made up of candidates with littie or no knowledge of atomic or nuclear radiation. As a practical approach to the subject of radiation biology, a brief review of the relevant mathematics and physics is presented. Familiar examples and situations are used to illustrate important aspects and procedures, and finally, specific action and details are set forth as a guide for team action. Radiation monitoring teams are of primary importance in the initial handling of any accident involving radioactive material. The training and skill acquired by such teams may well be the factor of control required in emergencies until more highly trained personnel are available. These teams add immeasurably to the ability of ships and other activities in coping with all phases of control of radioactive contamination, and also in supplementing work done by more highly skilled and trained personnel.
