Description/Abstract:
EVALUATION OF SKIN DOSE FROM SMALL CONTAMINATED AREAS ON CLOTHING. AN AUTORADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE FOR EVALUATING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE RADIATI ON DOSE TO THE SKIN FROM A POINT SOURCE OF CONTAMINATION ON CLOTHING I S USED AT HANFORD. THE APPLICATION OF A SCANNING MICRODENSITOMETER FOR EVALUATION OF THE AUTORADIOGRAPH AND THE GEOMETRICAL MODEL USED TO EST IMATE THE SKIN DOSE ARE DISCUSSED. THE ERRORS INHERENT IN THE FINAL DO SE ESTIMATION ARE SHOWN. SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN A ANALYSI S OF THE SIGNFICANCE OF THE ASSIGNED DOSE IN RELATION TO PERMISSIBLE L IMITS ARE SUMMARIZED.
