Description
241Am in urine of four workers who worked in an unexpected accident of 241Am during decommissing was mensurated, and multiple ingestion mode was adopted. The result showed that the maximum 241Am intake was 349 Bq and the maximum effective dose was 9.4 mSv, both below annual intake limit 740 Bq and annul dose limit 20 mSv. (authors)
