Internal Radiation Hazards in Industry from the Use of Polonium in Static Eliminator Devices,

Abstract

A discussion of the internal radiation hazards arising from the use of Polonium in Static Eliminator devices. Special reference is made to the hazards in industry and to the hazards in the handling of these devices by personnel with little or no knowledge of handling and manipulation of radioactive materials. Reference is made to a specific survey of a plant planning to use such devices.
