Description/Abstract:
THE ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE (AFRRI) HAS COMPLETED A SERIES OF PULSE EXPOSURES OF THE MONKEY USING A PULSING TRIGA REACTO R. THIS DISCUSSION PRESENTS THE DOSIMETRY SUPPORT GIVEN TO THIS PROGRA M. THE REPORTED DOSES ARE BASED ON THE KERMA CALCULATED FROM THRESHOLD FOIL DATA FOR FAST NEUTRONS AND THE GAMMA EXPOSURE DETERMINED BY SILVE R ACTIVATED GLASS RODS. THESE VALUES HAVE BEEN COMPARED WITH EXTRAPOLA TED ( BY MONITORING SULFUR ) VALUES DETERMINED USING TISSUE EQUIVALENT IONIZATION CHAMBERS FOR TOTAL DOSE, A HURST PROPORTIONAL COUNTER FOR F AST NEUTRON DOSE, AND A GRAPHITE - CO2 IONIZATION CHAMBER AND A TETRAC HLORETHYLENE CHEMICAL DOSIMETER FOR GAMMA DOSE.
