“…This resulted in a variety of studies of the dietary intake of key fallout nuclides such as 137 Cs and 90 Sr found in food products (Cunningham et al, 1989;Simpson et al, 1981;Stroube et al, 1985;United States Atomic Energy Commission, 1963). The high levels of contamination documented between 1957 and 1964 were not reached again until the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident of April 1986 (Cunningham and Anderson, 1994).…”

“…Table 2.3) on irradiation with epithermal neutrons, in so-called epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA), nowadays more often called epithermal instrumental neutron activation analysis (EINAA). For this reason, EINAA has been used extensively for iodine determination in foodstuffs since the beginning of the eighties until now (Fardy and Mcorist, 1984;Stroube and Lutz, 1985;Stroube et al, 1987;Rao et al, 1995;Hou et al, 1997a, b;Nichols et al, 1998;Kucera et al, 2004;Akhter et al, 2004;El-Ghawi and Al-Sadeq, 2006). In such conditions, iodine is activated more selectively (together with other nuclides with high resonance integrals), because the high background activities from the elements Na, K, and Cl whose radioisotopes are formed according to the "1/v" law (v -velocity of neutrons) are suppressed.…”

PrefaceThis manual provides the scientific and technical foundations for bioassay program design and interpretation, and for the assessment of occupational intakes and internal doses. The Hanford Internal Dosimetry Project Manual (PNNL-MA-552) (a) applies these foundations to define the recommended worker bioassay monitoring programs and internal dose assessment efforts at the Hanford Site.According to the DOE Internal Dosimetry Program Guide (DOE G 441.1-3, 03-17-99), a technical basis document should record the approach to evaluating internal doses from bioassay data, and where appropriate, from workplace monitoring data. It should also describe the physical and chemical characteristics of radioactive materials encountered in the workplace; methods for calculating internal doses and dose equivalents and the methods for documenting those calculations; dose evaluation quality assurance; recording and reporting practices for internal dosimetry; selection of workers for monitoring; and establishment of the type and frequency of measurements to be used. Furthermore, statistical methods for evaluating bioassay data, identifying bioassay results above environmental background values, using appropriate blanks, and analyzing trends should be described.This manual describes the basic methods and biokinetic models used for bioassay program design, interpretation, and internal dose assessment. These methods and models are combined with good practices and professional judgment to give the operational recommendations for routine and special bioassay monitoring contained in the Hanford Internal Dosimetry Project Manual (PNNL-MA-552). The actual selection of workers for monitoring and the characterization of the physical, chemical, and radiological properties of contaminants in the many Hanford facilities are the domain of the individual Hanford contractors.The recommendations in this manual are provided as guidance, not requirements, to personnel responsible for designing and operating bioassay monitoring programs and evaluating bioassay results. Commitments by contractors to use these recommendations may be found in the contractor radiation protection plans. This manual is on a 3-year revision schedule, however individual sections are revised as necessary, and upon revision, commence their own 3-year revision cycle.
