  • Progress in the development of a portable phoswich-style skin contamination dosimeter

    Creator:
    Tang, Matthew M.
    Abstract:
    The Code of Federal Regulations (10CFR20.1201) mandates occupational dose limits to the shallow, lens and deep tissue layers. The NRC-accepted procedure of estimating dose to these layers from contamination events is laborious. The current work aims to further the development of a portable phoswich-style skin dosimeter that will operate in...

  • Design, construction, and analysis of a skin contamination dosimeter

    Creator:
    Cazalas, Edward J.
    Abstract:
    International recommendations provided by the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP), as well as national regulations, set by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), state that the exposure of skin to highly concentrated radioactive sources should be monitored at specified depths in skin and kept below specific dose equivalence levels....

  • Beta-particle backscatter factors and energy-absorption scaling factors for use with dose-point kernels

    Creator:
    Mangini, Colby D.
    Abstract:
    'Hot particle' skin dosimetry calculations are commonly performed using homogeneous dose-point kernels (DPK) in conjunction with scaling and backscatter models to account for non-homogeneous geometries. A new scaling model for determining the actual DPK for beta-particles transmitted by a high-Z source material has been developed. The model is based on...
