Nuclear accident dosimetry: Los Alamos measurements at the seventeenth nuclear accident dosimetry intercomparison study at the Oak Ridge National Lab. , DOSAR Facility, August 1980
Teams from various US and foreign organizations participated in the Seventeenth Nuclear Accident Dosimetry Study held at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) Dosimetry Applications Research (DOSAR) facility August 11 to 15, 1980. Criticality dosimeters were simultaneously exposed to pulses of mixed neutron and gamma radiation from the Health Physics Research Reactor (HPRR). This report summarizes the experimental work conducted by the Los Alamos team. In-air and phantom measurements were conducted by the Los Alamos team using area and personnel dosimeters. Combined blood sodium and sulfur fluence measurements of absorbed dose were also made. In addition, indium foils placed on phantoms were evaluated for the purpose of screening personnel for radiation exposure. All measurements were conducted for unshielded, 5-cm steel and 20-cm concrete shielding configurations. All participant dosimeters were exposed at 3 m from the center of the HPRR core.
