Series Description: This series consists of forms, reports, surveys, and case histories of personnel contamination. Records describe contamination events of the skin surface and open wounds. Monitoring was conducted through bioassays of blood, fecal, and urine samples; chest counts; nasal smears; skin swipes; and whole body counts. Nuclides monitored include americium-241, curium-244, neptunium-237, and plutonium-238, -239, and -240. Alpha and beta-gamma activity is reported in disintegrations per minute per milliliter. Information also includes employee name, payroll number, shift assignment, and chelation treatment.
