The USAFSAM Facility for Studies Utilizing Low-Dose, Low-Dose-Rate Ionizing Radiation.

Abstract

A facility was designed and built to provide continuous exposure to low-dose, low-dose-rate ionizing radiation. Four 60Co irradiators were fabricated by Technical Services Division, Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU); a uniform exposure from 500 mrad to 2.5 R/day can be provided to an area of 512 cu ft (8 ft x 8 ft x 8 ft).
