AbstractAbstract
[en] This study includes radiation dose and risk predictions for the Adaya site remediation workers. Characterization survey of the site identifies 235U and 234mPa contamination (from the decay chain of 238U) in portions of the site. The results of the dose estimation using RESRAD computer code are compared with the relevant safety requirements and criteria defined in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety series no. 115 (1996). The results indicate that the potential radiation doses to the workforce from remediation of the site satisfy the occupational dose limit of 20 mSv/y, but considerably greater than the individual exemption dose criterion of 10 μSv/y. Accordingly, remediation activities are not anticipated to result in a dose to workers in excess of the established International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) limits. The risk assessment results indicate that a remediation worker receives 7.452 mSv/y from occupation 234mPa and 235U exposure has a 0.014 or about 14-in-a- thousand chance of developing cancer during this life.
