Subject:       Uranium Internal Dosimetry

Radsafers:

Has anyone out there put together an internal dosimetry program for inhaled
Natural Uranium?

I am looking for help in assigning internal dose numbers to workers in a
natural uranium dioxide environment.

Any help would be appreciated.  Please e-mail me directly at the address
below unless you think others would be interested.

Mike,

If your talking about a mining, open pit, environment, I would 
suggest you look at NUREG 0941, NRC Limit on Intake of Uranium Ore 
Dust, and if not look at HPS N13.22-1995, Bioassay Programs for 
Uranium.  A copy of the later document was included in the Health 
Physics Newsletter about a year or so ago.
