This manual is intended to assist individuals faced with the problem of managing an accident involving radioactive contamination to make the decisions necessary in selecting the treatment techniques that have been successful in the past or, in the case of a situation where there is no experience, the treatment techniques that appear to be the most ...
The soil vulnerability determines the sensitivity of the soil after an accidental radioactive contamination due to Cs-137 and Sr-90. The Departamento de Impacto Ambiental de la Energia of CIEMAT is carrying out an assessment of the radiological vulnerabil...

All calculations of the consequences of an atmospheric release must start with atmospheric dispersion calculations. Time factors make external and inhalation dose estimates of immediate concern closely followed by ground contamination of land, pastures an...
The results of the aeroradiometric survey using an helicopter, in Goiania City, Brazil, to localize focus of radioactive contamination due an accidental rupture of a capsule of Cs-137 source, are presented. The system of radiometric measurements consisted...
During normal working activities or in accidental situations, when the introduction of radioactive gamma emitters is of non-negligible amount, accurate determination of effective committed dose equivalents based on direct measurements of internal contamin...
This report provides background material for the development of FDA's Protective Action Recommendations: Accidental Radioactive Contamination of Food and Animal Feeds. The rationale, dosimetric and agricultural transport models for the Protective Action Guides are presented, along with information on dietary intake. In ...
Some of the methods of reducing the radirtion dose to critical organs following accidental intake of radioactive materials are reviewed. More detailed consideration is given to the place of isotope dilution methods with specisl reference to intakes of radioiodine and to the reduction of internal contamination by the ...
This manual documents a recommended methodology for determining the ingestion pathway consequences of hypothetical accidental airborne radiological releases from facilities at the Savannah River Site. Both particulate and tritiated radioactive contaminants are addressed. Other approaches should be applied for evaluation of routine ...

In March 1954, radioactive debris from a thermonuclear weapon test at Bikini Atoll deviated from predicted trajectories and contaminated several atolls in the northern Marshall Islands. As a result, 239 native inhabitants of these islands along with 28 Am...
A significant amount of I-131 contamination was found in the hair of a Bedouin lady scanned seven days after the administration of an ablative dose of 50 mCi of I-131. This observation should be taken in consideration to avoid false interpretation. It also raises the problem of potentially contaminating other persons coming in contact with I-131 patients ...
The majority of individuals exposed to fallout material complained of burning and itching of the skin during the first 24 to 48 hours after exposure. Epilation and skin lesions were observed, beginning approximately 2 to 3 weeks after exposure on skin areas contaminated with fallout. Bluish-brown pigmentation of the fingernails was a common finding. Individuals in the highest ...
This book the effects of human exposure to dioxins and documents the measures taken to remove these poisons from the environment and ensure the management of future accidental contaminations.
The purpose of this article is to describe and contrast two relationships between radiation and food--on the one hand, beneficial preservation of food by controlled exposure to ionizing radiation; and, on the other, contamination of food by accidental incorporation of radioactive nuclides within the food itself. In food irradiation, ...

Consequence of the accidental release of radioactivity from a nuclear power plant is assessed in terms of exposure or dose to the members of the public. Assessment of risk is routed through this dose computation. Dose computation basically depends on the basic dose assessment model and exposure pathways. One of the exposure pathways is the ingestion of ...

Several employees of the Los Alamos Plutonium Facility were found to have low levels of radioactivity on their hands and clothing when they arrived for work one morning. The initial concern was that the stringent contamination or material controls at the facility had failed, and that one or more of the employees had either accidentally ...
The TRACES computer program relates the radioactivity concentration in up to 12 specific environmental media to the potential radiation dose to a member of the public via up to 21 exposure pathways. It can calculate doses arising from environmental contamination of short duration (short term accidental release) or personal exposure of ...
>From winter meeting of American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Detroit, Michigan, USA (11 Nov 1973). The probability of accidents occurring in the nuclear fuel cycle is examined by considering: projected number of shipments of nuclear materials for power reactors (excluding breeder and gascooled reactors); transport by truck, rail, aircraft, and barge; and statistics on the ...
