Abstract |
Some 40 criticality accidents have occurred to date in the world, although relatively few since 1960. This manual is a guide to ambient and personal dosimetric measurement in the event of such an accident. After an introduction defining criticality accidents and giving their characteristics, with considerations governing the choice of ambient and personal dosimetry systems, sections are devoted to the ambient and personal dosimeters used at the Italian National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN) Centres; standardised systems for measurement with activation detectors; steps to be taken in the event of accident; assessment of the absorbed dose. Numerous appendices: personal data form, aids to calculation, tables, formulae, etc. |
