      <title>RADIATION DOSES IN ACCIDENTS AT SEA-TRANSPORTATION OF SPENT FUEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/82989</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In order to investigate the consequences of shipping accidents, a release of activity is assumed. This report presents the calculations of individual and collective doses from the two most severe postulated accidents which are given in a special accident analysis. One of the accidents is a ship collision together with fire on-board, the ship is floating after the collision and a certain quantity volatile fission products gives airborne activity. In the other case, it is a fire on-board, the ship will sink and cause a certain leakage to the sea.]]></description>

      <title>RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS TO AIR COMMERCE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/77800</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A survey of existing literature concerning radiological hazards to air commerce has been completed. A preliminary assessment of three major sources of potentially significant ionizing radiation has indicated that although some data are lacking, no actual danger to either passengers or crew has been documented. Cosmic radiation from galactic sources represents a relatively well understood and easily predictable phenomenon. Solar flare activity and nuclear testing episodes, however, are infrequent events which require an ongoing effort to maintain a current understanding of health and safety related issues.

      <title>EXPOSURE OF AIRPORT WORKERS TO RADIATION FROM SHIPMENTS OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS. A REVIEW OF STUDIES CONDUCTED AT SIX MAJOR AIRPORTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/47780</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The radiation exposure of airport workers handling shipments of radioactive materials was studied at six airports. Descriptions were obtained of the handling and arrangement of the packages, dose distributions were mapped around groupings of packages, and doses received by workers were evaluated both on the basis of time-motion studies and through readings of personal monitoring devices. Results of dosimeters worn over extended periods indicated that no workers were expected to receive exposures in excess of 500 millirems per year and most were expected to receive less than 100 millirems per year. No evidence was found in any of the six airport studies to suggest that members of the public received any exposure of significance relative to the natural background radiation.]]></description>

      <title>NS SAVANNAH ANNUAL HEALTH PHYSICS REPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/3803</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Health physics procedures and operations carried out on board the N.S. Savannah for the period from May to December, 1962 were found satisfactory.  Personnel exposures were held to extremely low levels, external whole body exposure did not approach 10 percent of the permissible 5 rem annual exposure limit, and internal exposures did not occur.  The results of a comprehensive bioassay program carried out on engineering and nuclear staff personnel were negative.  Increased radioactivity levels in the atmosphere and hydrosphere environment of the ship did not occur. Nuclear ship maintenance was carried out without the support of shipyards equipped with nuclear maintenance facilities. Health physics supplies and materials carried aboard ship were adequate for all operations.  Radiation control, personnel protection, radiations incidents, maintenance, training, measurements, and analyses, and waste disposal operations are reviewed from a health physics standpoint.]]></description>
