Abstract:

A method was developed to estimate the radiation dose received by an aircrew member in an aircraft in the vicinity of an atmospheric nuclear weapon detonation. The problem is segmented into three parts determining the radiation field at the aircraft, determining the radiation field within the aircraft, and calculating the radiation dose absorbed by the crew member. The air portion is solved using a computer code with some special treatment of the results, and existing fluence-to-dose conversion factors are used for calculating the crew member dose. The treatment of the aircraft attenuation is developed. The scattered fluence is determined using multigroup diffusion theory. A sample problem is presented using the F-102A interceptor and a hypothetical burst. Author
