Research on time-microenvironment patterns spent by 131I production workers at Dat Lat Nuclear Research Institute

Abstract

Time-microenvironment patterns in 1-min resolution spent by 9-worker group in 2015 were investigated in this paper. The monitored objects include the radiation workers working at ¹³¹I production area at Da Lat Nuclear Research Institute. The results shown that ¹³¹I exposure time for the objects were lower than their total working time. Moreover, the patterns spent by all members of the group were very complicated. This paper’s data set is necessary for estimating the internal dose from the air sample in both short-term as well as long-term exposure for radiation workers.

Keywords: Air sampling, internal dose assessment, time-microenvironment pattern.
