Re: Hot Particles?

Lin-Shen,

Thank you for your generous reply to my inquiry on hot particles. The journal staff saw the exchange and called me to say the were mailing me a copy of the article you referenced. I am an environmental activist currently serving on the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company Community Advisory Panel on Decommissioning and an intervenor before the USNRC on the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station License Termination Plan. I have been working with the company to structure a radiological survey plan for tidal areas adjacent to the site and hot particles may be an issue. Hence, my immediate interest in learning what I can on the subject. Thanks again.

Ray,

I have been moved within the BNL so often and so many times, so I have lost most of my beta-dose calculation references.   If I recalled correcly, in the one of the early issue of "Radioactive & Radiochemistry" Jouranl has your Co-60 infomation. The article is described a MIT study on Co-60 spheres as "Hot particle".  I hope somebody can share this Journal with you, otherwise you can contact the Publisher at: (404) 352-4620 or caretakercom@mindspring.com

Good luck to you,

casper

I am seeking some guidance with respect to calculating the dose from internalized hot particles-either activation particles, such as, Co-60 or irradiated nuclear fuel fragments. Perhaps someone on the list is an expert in this area and would care to help. Thanks.
