Re: Fe-59, Ni-59 and Ni-63.

[William V Lipton <liptonw@dteenergy.com>]

A good source of information on Ni-59 and Ni-63 is DOE/LLW-238, "Selected
Radionuclides Important to Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management,"
published by the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, in November 1996.
This may be available from INEL  (Idaho National Engineering Laboratory,
National Low-Level Waste Management Program, Lockheed Martin Idaho
Technologies Co., Idaho Falls, Idaho 83415) or from the National Technical
Information Service - check their Web site.

You should also see what ICRP30 provides on these radionuclides.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
