Radiation exposure estimations for the Los Alamos plutonium stabilization and packaging projects

This report details the methods used for calculating the radiation exposure estimations for the Los Alamos National Laboratory plutonium stabilization and packaging projects, which are underway to meet the requirements of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board`s Recommendation 94-1. The results, which are also contained in this report, are based on the analysis of workers` levels of effort, dosimetry data, and the types of items processed during the period of January 1966 through May 1966. These estimations will allow project managers to consider the impacts of radiation exposures in the assignment and scheduling of tasks as well as provide a basis for determining if dose-reduction measures are justified for specific operations
