Radiation Protection at Light Water Reactors [electronic resource] / by Robert Prince. - XIV, 366 p. 118 illus., 3 illus. in color. online resource.
Introduction -- Radiological Aspects of PWR Systems -- Radiological Aspects of BWR Systems -- Sources of Occupational Radiation Exposure -- Demarcation of Radiological Zones -- Operational Radiation Protection -- Demarcation of Radiological Zones -- Operational Radiation Protection -- Exposure Management (Minimization and Control of Collective Dose -- Source Reduction -- Protective Clothing and Equipment -- Personnel Dosimetry (Monitoring of Personnel Exposure and Bioassay Programs) -- Radiological Survey and Monitoring Instrumentation -- Appendix A. ALI's and DAC's -- Appendix B. Dose Conversion Factors -- Appendix C. Problems -- Appendix D. Problem Solutions -- Appendix E. Radiation Dose Rates and Activity Conversion Factors -- Appendix F. Radiological Controls for Steam Generator Work Activities -- Index.
This book is aimed at Health Physicists wishing to gain a better understanding of the principles and practices associated with a light water reactor (LWR) radiation protection program. The role of key program elements is presented in sufficient detail to assist practicing radiation protection professionals in improving and strengthening their current program. Details related to daily operation and discipline areas vital to maintaining an effective LWR radiation protection program are presented. Programmatic areas and functions important in preventing, responding to, and minimizing radiological incidents and the importance of performing effective incident evaluations and investigations are described. Elements that are integral in ensuring continuous program improvements are emphasized throughout the text.
