(a)
Calculated using the CINDY Code (Version 1.3) (Strenge et al., 1992).
Defined as a Pu mixture consisting of, by weight %, 93% 239Pu, 6.1% 240Pu, 0.8% 241Pu, 0.05% 238Pu, and 0.05% 242Pu,
(b)
with 5 years allowed for 241Am ingrowth.
Intake of 4.7-nCi Pu-", 38-nCi 241Pu, and 0.34-nCi 241Am, giving a committed dose equivalent of 50 rem to the bone
(c)
surfaces.
Intake of 0.19-nCi Pu-", 1.5-nCi 241Pu, and 0.014-nCi 241Am, giving a committed effective dose equivalent of 0.1 rem.
(d)
Intake of 12-nCi Pu-", 97-nCi 241Pu, and 0.86-nCi 241Am, giving a committed dose equivalent of 50 rem to the bone
(e)
surfaces.
Intake of 0.27-nCi Pu-", 2.2-nCi 241Pu, and 0.019-nCi 241Am, giving a committed effective dose equivalent of 0.1 rem.
(f)
The problem is simply that the measurement technology is not available to provide the
sensitivities required for the 100-mrem goal using routine, periodic measurements at
reasonable frequencies. Therefore, because the goal of 100-mrem CEDE cannot be met
through routine bioassay, the radiation protection organization should take the following
administrative actions:
-- ensure that adequate control measures are applied to prevent intakes
-- document the adequate control measures for auditing purposes
