The impact of long-lived particulates on the Pickering NGS retubing program
Description
During retubing of Pickering 1 and 2, contamination by carbon-14 particulate was discovered. The source of the carbon-14 was activation of the nitrogen in the annular space between the calandria tubes and pressure tubes. This paper discusses the origin and nature of the particulate hazard, workplace hazard controls, protective equipment, contamination monitoring, and dosimetry for carbon-14
