RF RADIATION HAZARDS. AIR FORCE MISSILE TEST CENTER, ORDNANCE - BIO-EFFECTS - FUEL

Abstract

An analysis of Air Force Missile Test Center radiation sources, which constitute potential radiation hazards is discussed. The analysis is in three parts; Parts I, II, and III deal with ordnance, bio-effects and fuel, respectively. Within Parts I, II and III, tabulations have been included which show the extent of hazardous radiation to ordnance for each missile complex; the areas dangerous to personnel; and the areas surrounding the individual instrumentation systems within which fueling operations may be dangerous when irradiated. A map of Cape Canaveral showing instrumentation site locations and average effective radiated powers is included.
