Health physics at the Los Alamos Wing 9 hot-cell facility

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4329831
From third Health Physics Society midyear topical symposium; Los Angeles, California, USA (29 Jan 1969). See CONF-690103P1. Health physics programs at the Los Alamos ~~Wing 9'' hot cell facility are described. The 16- cell facility is used primarily for testing and examination of irradiated reactor fuel, but it is also the main LASL facility for materials irradiation, large source handling, and other miscellaneous hot-cell work. Eight cells are equipped with sealed alpha containment boxes for safe handling of plutonium enriched fuels. Control systems and operating practices that affect health physics at the facility are discussed as well as health physics programs such as area monitoring, personnel dosimetry, air monitoring, surface monitoring, and monitoring instrumentation.
