Preliminary estimations of doses from blood properties and 24Na concentration in blood were 16-20, 6-10 and 1-4gamma-ray gray-equivalent(gammaGyEq) respectively for the three workers. For apparent dose estimation, neutron-induced radionuclides in biological materials such as blood, hair and urine were measured. Accordingly, we detected 32P in urine samples. The concentration rations of 32P in the urine for the three workers showed a similar tendency to those of 24Na in blood. This result indicated that the radioactivity of 32P in urine could be used to estimate the neutron exposure level.}, pages = {25--29}, title = {Determination of P-32 in urine for early estimation of the neutron exposure level for three vctims of the JCO criticality accident.}, volume = {22}, year = {2002} }
