Hanford radiological protection support services annual report for 1996

Abstract

Various Hanford Site radiation protection services provided by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy Richland Operations Ofice and Hanford contractors are described in this annual report for calendar year 1996. These activities include external dosimetry measurements and evaluations, internal dosimetry measurements and evaluations, in vivo measurements, radiological exposure record keeping, radiation source calibration, and instrument calibration and evaluation. For each of these activities, the routine program and any program changes or enhancements are described, as well 8s associated fasks, investigations, and studies. Program-related publications, presentations, and other staff professional activities are also described.

Hanford radiological protection support services annual report for 1997

“…Second, QC monitoring data for this source, collected during routine use for TLD irradiations, continued to indicate stability with a clear lack of trends in the source output. Both of these data sets were presented in the Hanford Radiological Protection Support Services Annual Report I996 (Lyon et al 1997). Finally, the on-going calibration and constancy verifications of the SNOOPY working standard, using this source and the current calibration protocol (extending from 1993 to the present), has resulted in detector efficiencies that vary randomly within the allowable tolerance.…”
