Use of CR-39 for nuclear criticality accident dosimetry and high neutron dose monitoring

Creator:

Tai, Lydia I.

Abstract:

CR-39 foils were irradiated as part of nuclear accident dosimetry experiments using the Godiva reactor at the Nevada National Security Site and the Caliban and Prospero reactors at the Valduc Centre for Nuclear Studies in France. The irradiated foils were chemically etched using the standard Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory process...

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....
