Accidental Radiation Excursion at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant—III: Determination of Radiation Doses
Journal Article
·
· Health Physics
The methods used to arrive at the doses received by individuals are described. The doses were determined by the following procedure. Blood and urine samples were collected from the exposed employees and counted for radioactive substances. Na24 in the blood and P32 and Na24 in the urine. A burro was exposed to a mock-up of the liquid assembly to determine the relationship of Na24 activity in the blood and neutron dose. The ratio of gamma dose to neutron dose for this particular type of critical assembly was determined with the mock-up experiment. Theoretical calculations of the gamma to neutron dose were also determined.
