Radiation accidents: dosimetric aspects of neutron and gamma-ray exposures.

Abstract

A system of dosimetry for persons involved in accidental criticality excursions is presented as part A of a two part report. The information is arranged to be useful as a reference for those responsible for implementing the system. Part A also contains a review and re-evaluation of the dosimetry of previous accidents and a synopsis of part B. Pants A and B together form a complete analysis of dosimetric and medical information pentinent to acute exposures of humans to mixed radiations. (J.R.D.)
