Comprehensive dosimetry for seven exposure sources at the earliest US uranium processing facility

Comprehensive dosimetry for seven exposure sources at the earliest US uranium processing facility

Mallinckrodt Chemical Works (MCW) was the earliest uranium processing facility in the United States, beginning in 1942. The 2,514 workers included in the epidemiologic study were exposed to external gamma radiation, medical x-rays, internal radiation from intakes of pitchblende ore and its extracted...
