Neutron Exposure for DoD Nuclear Test Personnel.

Abstract

Neutron doses for Dod units/projects that participated in atmospheric nuclear test programs are assessed using computer codes ATR and ANISN. Units/projects whose personnel are identified as having received a neutron dose of at least 1 mrem are listed by operation and shot. Of the several thousand units/projects screened, 160 are identified as having received a free-field neutron exposure exceeding 1 mrem. Of these, approximately 75 percent are aircrews with the remainder being ground-based units, either scientific projects or military observer/maneuver units. Keywords: Nuclear Test Personnel Review; Neutron Dose; Radiation Transport.
