EVALUATION OF PERSONNEL EXPOSURE FROM STRATOSPHERIC FISSION FRAGMENT CONTAMINATION ON AIRCRAFT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4793114
Experimental studies show that the hazard to persons who work on aircraft contaminated with mixed fission products can be adequately defined by a simple beta-gamma survey of the immediate area where work is being performed. The contribution to the total radiation dose from inhalation of resuspended debris or ingestion from hand contamination is unimportant, ranging from factors of 100 or more below that contributed by the external dose. The levels of radiation now present on aircraft are such that it is highly improbable that anyone would ever receive exposure in excess of permissible limits; control of personnel for radiological health reasons and decontamination of aircraft are, therefore, unnecessary.
