¢ 1995 - Present - The lurig counter hardware, software, and detectors were

upgraded. —

In. 1966, the type of dosimeter badge used to monitor employees’ exposure to radiation was
a Type-A gamma ray film badge. However, very few if any radiation workers used them in
the fifties and early sixties. By 1969, all gamma ray dosimeters were converted to :
thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and by 1976 all neutron badges used were TLD
badges. These had their faults, because in order too obtain the information in the employee's
dosimeter badge the crystal chips had to be activated by heat, and if not done appropriately
the record would be lost. The presence of body oils or hair on the chips could result in false
readings and improper and inconsistent practices with employee dosimetry use resulted in
missing information (forgot to wear badge or wore it under a lead apron) or inaccurate
information. The crystals are also very small and would easily get lost. See an employee
etter included as an attachment in response to Section F.2 of Form B. In addition, the site
routinely under reported lower level exposures over time. Investigations into unusual
dosimetry results frequently resulted in the assignment of zero when the investigator was
unable to determine the cause of the exposure. From 1951 through 1992 Rocky Flats
embraced a philosophy of reporting dose down to zero. In 1993 a minimum reported dose
level of 10 mrem was adopted. Any dose below this level is reported as zero (RFETS 2001).
This practice is still in place today.

@ SIGNED AFFIDAVIT - BURN OUT LINES AND LUNG COUNT HISTORY
May 17, 2005
STEVE TRUJILLO
SEC Tracking Number 00030

I, Steve Trujillo, submit the following letter as a signed affidavit in support of the Rocky
Flats USWA Special Exposure Cohort Petition. This affidavit is submitted in response to
Mr. Larry Elliot's letter dated April 27, 2005, and in particular in response to Item 4
Clarification - “You agreed that additional information would be provided in the form of an affavit.
As discussed you have 30 days on receipt of this letter... to submit signed affidavits.”
As Co-Chair of the Hazardous and Toxic Materials Sub-Committee, I attest to the following.
From the early 1950s until approximately 1989 several processes were employed at Rocky
Flats that required the purity of plutonium. Of these processes many dealt with highly
insoluble forms, including high fired oxides in particular.
All of the work activities described in response to Section E.2 of Form B were very high in
penetrating radiation exposure and known by employees as burn out lines. Because of the
nature of these materials it was not uncommon to have an airborne excursion, some so high
in contamination that it would take months to decontaminate. Unfortunately the only way a
worker would know of a release was when the selective alpha air monitors GAAMs) would
alarm. At the time of these alarms, the workers were typically without respiratory

oe protection and nasal and mouth smears and lung counts were not readily employed. Only
when skin contamination was involved were bioassay actions taken and an employee sent
up to lung count. The lung counter could not detect plutonium because of the low
abundance of gamma photons and the severe attenuation of L X-rays. Instead, the 59.5-keV

—- —— gamma photon from Americium 241 was used to detect americium in the lung. The activity
of plutonium was then calculated from the detected americium by measuring, calculating,
or assuming the fraction of the Americium 241 in the plutonium mixture on the date of the
lung count. Direct in vivo measurement of plutonium in the lungs, although investigated,
“ ~ was never implemented at Rocky Flats: The following bullets describe hing counting

capabilities over time. Note that no lung counting capabilities existed from 1952 to 1964 and
that they were seldom used from 1964 to 1968.

© 1964 - 1968 - One counting room consisting of two Nal(I7) scintillation detectors
and a third detector used for cesium and potassium measurements.

«1969 ~ 1976 - Two counting rooms with three 4x4 Nal(TI) scintillation detectors,
two over the upper chest and one over the liver. The liver detector was
eliminated in 1974. An index method was developed by Robert Bistline to reflect
chest wall thickness.

© 1976-1984 - Three counting rooms were equipped with the new high-purity
Germanium (Ge) detector array system. The Nal(IT) system would latter only be
used as a backup system.

« 1985 - 1995 - Ge detectors in the organ pipe configuration were implemented.
