Low Level Internal Dose Screen - Oceanic Test, Nuclear Test Personnel Review

Abstract

A methodology is developed in DNA-TR-85-317 whereby DoD participants in the CONUS atmospheric nuclear tests are screened to determine whether or not they received a bone dose commitment less than 150 millirem from internally deposited radionuclides. The algorithms that were developed to relate the internal dose commitment to external dose parameters are expanded to cover unique exposure conditions pertinent to oceanic operations such as long-term exposure resulting from fallout on residence islands or ships. Application of the methodology shows that most oceanic test participants received bone dose commitments less than 150 millirem.
