Calculation of skin dose rate conversion factors due to surface contamination from frequently used radionuclides in local nuclear and medical facilities
Purpose: The use of nonsealed radioactive sources can lead to skin contamination due to radiological accidents and staff oversight. This contamination has been shown to contribute considerably to the total skin dose received by nuclear medicine technicians and can easily exceed the limit of 500 mSv/...
