Instrumentation Requirements for Radiological Defense of the U.S. Population in Community Shelters.

Abstract

Based on a detailed computer simulation of a Community Shelter Plan posture, it is estimated that 3.4 million new dosimeters and 1.4 million new ratemeters would be required for radiological defense. To maintain dose records for all shelter occupants, 18.1 million new dosimeters and 1.4 million new ratemeters would be required. (Author)
