C. Dose Estimation from Residual and Fallout Radioactivity 1. Areal Surveys

Appendix G External Dose Estimates from Global Fallout

This report provides estimates of the external radiation exposure and whole body effective dose received by residents of the continental U.S. during the period 1953-2000 from nuclear weapons tests. Doses were calculated for tests carried out in the Pacific by the U.S. and U.K. and by the U.S.S.R. at various sites in the former Soviet Union during the years 1952-62. Estimates are given on a coun...

Radioactivity of Tobacco Leaves and Radiation Dose Induced from Smoking

The radioactivity in tobacco leaves collected from 15 different regions of Greece and before cigarette production was studied in order to find out any association between the root uptake of radionuclides from soil ground by the tobacco plants and the effective dose induced to smokers from cigarette tobacco due to the naturally occurring primordial radionuclides , such as 226Ra and 210Pb of the ...

Density Estimation from Complex Surveys

Three classes of kernel density estimates are proposed which are appropriate in the analysis of complex survey data. The three classes of estimates pertain to use of the whole data file, to use of binned data and to smoothing binned data. In each class a model-based asymptotic integrated mean square error is obtained under the complex sampling design. The parallel design-based asymptotic integr...

The radioactivity analysis of 14C and 3H in graphite from the dismantled korea research reactor and its dose estimation

A high temperature combustion method was used to analyze the 14C and 3H activities in graphite and the dose assessment was carried out to determine the clearance in the conservative way. By this method, the 3H and 14C were simultaneously trapped in the nitric acid and carbosorb, respectively. Accordingly, the sample preparation time for the measurement was reduced to the half. The combustion te...
