主 题:Tritium Occupational exposure Urine Internal dose Nuclear power plant
摘 要:Objective:To investigate the activity concentration of tritium in urine of nuclear power plant(NPP)workers,in order to evaluate the occupational exposure ***:Three chosen NPPs were respectively located in southern,southeastern and northeastern *** involved in operating,service,nuclear cleaning,chemical analysis,health physics,technical support,among others were randomly selected as the research targets,and 69 urine samples of no less than 50 mL were *** oxidative distillation method was used to pretreat the urine samples,and the activity concentration of tritium in distillate was then measured using liquid scintillation *** formula for the committed effective dose was also applied used to estimate the internal ***:The highest tritium activity concentrations in urine samples from three NPPs were 2412.7,6351.4,and 478.7 Bq/L,***,the internal doses due to tritium intake were 1.8,4.8 and 0.4μSv,***:The urine tritium activity concentration of workers varied greatly dependent on their job *** values for urine tritium radioactivity concentrations of workers involved in health care,nuclear cleaning and maintenance were generally higher than those for other job *** difference in urine tritium activity concentration mainly came from the different exposure time and tritium *** the dose assessment results,the internal dose caused by tritium intake did not exceed the public annual effective dose limit.
