Abstract

Most temperature measurements are not so much concerned with absolute accuracy as repeatability, since focused on is whether the temperature is stable, moving up or moving down and by what rate of change. This is not the case, however, with temperature measurement within sterilisers, stresses Ted Baker, managing director, Isopharm Sentry.

ALARA considerations for the whole body neutron irradiation facility source removal project at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

This paper describes the activities that were involved with the safe removal of fourteen PuBe sources from the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) Whole Body Neutron Irradiation Facility (WBNIF). As part of a Department of Energy and BNL effort to reduce the radiological inventory, the WBNIF was identified as having no future use. In order to deactivate the facility and eliminate the need for nuclear safety management and long-term surveillance, it was decided to remove the neutron sources and dismantle the facility. In addition, the sources did not have DOT Special Form documentation so they would need to be encapsulated once removed for offsite storage or disposal. The planning and the administrative as well as engineering controls put in place enabled personnel to safely remove and encapsulate the sources while keeping exposure as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
