Determination of an environmental background level of 90Sr in urine for the Hanford bioassay program.

30 Oct 2009 During the decommissioning and maintenance of some of the facilities at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site in Washington State, workers have potential for a Sr intake. However, because of worldwide radioactive fallout, Sr is present in our ... Read more...

Results of a self-absorption study on the Versapor 3000 47-mm filters for radioactive particulate air stack sampling.

30 Oct 2009 Since the mid-1980's the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has used a value of 0.85 as a correction factor for the self absorption of activity for particulate radioactive air samples collected from building exhaust for environmental ... Read more...
