Kirchner Giscuss
the «esposures that
resulted from a plutonium fire at Rocky Flats on 15 October
1965.°?
Some
400 employces were working in the roem at the
time the fire occurred.
These employees were subsequently
placed in a whole body counter to determine their lung burdens
of Pu-239.
However, Mann and Kirchner reported only on those
25 employees who were exposed above the MPLB of 0.016 uCi.
Table V presents the information on the exposure of
these 25 employees.
by Mann
Utilizing the other information presented
and Kirchner,
we have
also
estimated
the fraction of tne lung burden activity
in Table V
(uCi)
associated
with hot particles and the number of hot particles that this
represents.
