Title: Bioassay vs. Air Sampling: Practical Guidance and Experience at Hanford

Conference ·
OSTI ID:949165

The Hanford Site has implemented a policy to guide in determining whether air sampling data or special fecal bioassay data are more appropriate for determining doses of record for low-level plutonium exposures. The basis for the policy and four years of experience in comparing DAC-hours exposure with bioassay-based dosimetry is discussed.
