Personnel Radiation Exposure Associated With X-Rays Emanating from U.S. Coast Guard LORAN High Voltage Vacuum Tube Transmitter Units
2011
Abstract : This report analyzes personnel radiation exposure associated with x-rays emanating from U.S. Coast Guard LORAN high voltage vacuum tube transmitter units that operated between 1942-2010. Approximately 10,000 U.S. Coast Guard service members operated these units during this period of time and may have been occupationally exposed to this x-ray source. This report provides information concerning the service members probability of radiogenic disease and culminates with guidance regarding U.S. Coast Guard veterans filing non-presumptive radiogenic disease claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
