I'm looking for information concerning the average
concentration of radionuclides in radar tubes used in WWII fighter aircraft. We
may have several hundred of these tubes buried at a former air force base in
Texas. We have not been able to locate any of them for
analysis.
The information will be used in a RESRAD calculation to help
provide additional assurances that the site can be released for unrestricted
use. Besides the radionuclide concentrations, does anyone knows the
approximate date(s) the tubes were manufactured or the name of the
manufacturer(s)? We anticipate that radioisotopes of Cobalt, Thorium,
Krypton, Nickel, Tritium, and Americium may be present in the tubes. Thank you
for your help.
Sincerely,
Bob
