Description/Abstract:
THOROUGH MONITORING THRU A SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS INDICATED THAT THE B RADIATION LEVEL WAS NEGLIGIBLE DURING NP 239 SEPARATION RUNS, ALTHOUGH FILM BADGE RESULTS INDICATED HIGH B DOSES. Y COMPONENTS ENERGIES WERE MEASURED BY MEANS OF THE TRENT. Y COMPONENTS WERE FOUND WITH ENERGIES TO WHICH THE FILM BADGE IS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. THE USE OF SPECIAL CURVES IS RECOMMENDED FOR INTERPRETATION OF NP239 EXPOSURES. A CASE OF OVEREXPOSURE DURING WORK WITH NP 239 AT UCRL IS DESCRIBED
