SKIN EXPOSURE IN EXCESS OF DOSE LIMIT

Following an entry to Pour Cell 2 Hoist Park, the PVC coverall of a filter was found to be contaminated with a localised spot of radioactivity on the right knee. Combining dosimetric measurements of dose rates with estimates of wearing times, result in an intital estimate up to about 2 Sv skin radiation exposure (of dose limit of 0.5 SV/y).
