RADIOLOGICAL RECOVERY CONCEPTS REQUIREMENTS, AND STRUCTURES. VOJUME II. SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS AND SSPPORTING DOCUMENTS
Abstract
This report contains five studies concerned with determining the costs and effectiveness of decontamination applied to postattack recovery an a fallout environment. These studies cover the following subjects: (1) The Effect of Early Decontamination of Total Dose: This study describes the effect of a single (discrete) reduction in radiation intensity (i.e., by decontamination) on an individual's dose history in a t to the -1.2 power radiation field; (2) The Effect of Early Decontamination of ERD: This analysis is like the first in describing the effect of a single reduction in radiation intensity, except that an individual's dose is measured in terms of his ERD; (3) Total Dose Approximations for Brief Exposure in a Fallout Environment: Two approximations to the expression used to calculate total dose for a finite exposure time in a t to the -Kth power radiation field developed and the resultant error is estimated. (4) The Effectiveness of Radiological Countermeasures in Accelerating Postattack Recovery: This study develops the parametric relationships that determine which radiological countermeasures could accelerate the postattack recovery process.
