Absorbed Dose Rate Due to K Radiation

F. Rohloff and M. Heinzelmann

Contamination encountered in nuclear energy engineering often contains a considerable content of nuclides, which decay by K capture. To get an estimation of their effects on the individual doses of the employed, some such nuclides were considered in more detail: the dose rate of K radiation was calculated and compared with dose to ? and ß radiation. The result is that only in a very few cases is K radiation of much importance. K radiation will provide no real problem in practical radiation protection as it is measurable similarly to ß radiation.
