Comprehensive evaluation of whole body counters for use in the implementation of an ICRP 30 internal dosimetry program
Description
In order to implement an ICRP 30 based internal dosimetry program, a rapid and reliable bioassay evaluation method is needed. Direct bioassay (whole body counting) is the most desirable form of exposure assessment since it eliminates many underlying assumptions. Two commercially available whole body counting systems were evaluated for use in the assessment of intake and subsequent calculation of a fifty year dose commitment. A closed geometry three detector chair and standup whole body counter were the two systems considered
