Health physics at the Los Alamos "Wing 9" hot-cell facility /

Health physics program at the Los Alamos "Wing 9" hot cell facility are described. The 16-cell facility is used primarily for testing and examination of irradiated reactor fuel, but it is also the main LASL facility for materials irradiation, large source handling, and other miscellaneous hot cell work. Eight cells are equipped with sealed alpha containment boxes for safe handling of plutonium enriched fuels. Control systems and operating practices that affect health physics at the facility are discussed as well as health physics programs such as area monitoring, personnel dosimetry, air monitoring, surface monitoring, and monitoring instrumentation."Author's Copy"--Cover."United States Atomic Energy Commission Contract W-7405-eng.36"--Cover."LA-4074 ; UC-41, Health and Safety; TID-4500.""Written: December 1968; Distributed: January 24, 1969."Includes bibliographical references (page 13).Health physics program at the Los Alamos "Wing 9" hot cell facility are described.
