Abstract:

The subject of TRITIUM has been largely declassified and can now be more openly discussed. As the distribution of nuclear weapons becomes more widespread in the Fleet, it is increasingly important that all shipboard Medical Department personnel be aware of their duties and responsibilities in connection with weapons involving nuclear materials. The purpose of this report is to summarize the information available on the subject, to provide in outline form a comprehensive guide for personnel training, and to present additional calculations relative to TRITIUM personnel dosimetry.
