FERNALD DOSIMETRY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
???First dose reconstruction on a US weapons complex facility supported by an independent agency.
???Significant advances in the state-of-the-art of environmental dose analysis:
? comprehensive analysis of complex source term
? significant use of historical records to confirm source term and environmental concentrations
? dosimetry results to be used to test epidemiological power
Notes:
The Fernald Dose Reconstruction Project included a number of key elements that established it as a pioneering effort. It is the first dose reconstruction designed to generate doses that will be used in an epidemiological study. This key design element required a number of innovative techniques in environmental dosimetry.
