RADIATION EXPOSURES OF PERSONNEL AT THE 60-INCH CYCLOTRON
A study has been made of the radiation received by staff members of the 60-inch cyclotron for the period from 1953 to 1957 and of the radiation environment in the target area. The nature of the operations has caused workers to receive an average amount of radiation that was within the formerly acceptcd limits and in addition is less than the present maximum recommended by the AEC. Namely, the Maximum permissible Dose (MPD) to the most critical organs, accumulated at any age, shall not exceed 5 rems multiplied by the number of years beyond age eighteen and the dose in any thirteen consecutive weeks shall not exceed 3 rems. There has been a yearly decrease in average exposure however, and constant improvement of techniques lessens the amount of radiation received. (auth)
