Description

This paper deals with the radiation hazards associated with the generation of neutrons during (α,n) reactions. The neutron radiation dosage associated with the irradiation of the lower atomic number elements and some compounds are tabulated for incident α particles having energies up to 10 MeV. The tables also list the number of hours of radiation per week required to exceed a tenth of the maximum allowable radiation exposure of 5 rem per year
