Union Carbide Nuclear Company Radiation Standards & Practices. Recommendations of the Committee on Radiation Standards & Practices
Radiation practices among the 4 Carbide Plants at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Paducah, Kentucky, were evaluated, and uniform standards and criteria for handling U, Th, Np, and Pu were developed. Values for the permissible limits of internal and external radiation exposure published in the most current NCRP handbooks and FRC publications were adopted as the basic standards for all 4 plants. On the basis of these standards, the maximum permissible concentrations of U, Th, Np, and Pu in air and action limits for the presence of the 4 isotopes in urine were also established. Also, consideration was given to whether clothing should be furnished by the company for health protection purposes and whether surface contamination standards should be established (P.C.H.)
