Radiation hazards to man
Abstract
The secondary dose contribution expected from the heavy primaries of the galactic cosmic rays was evaluated by a calculational technique developed in this study. Improvements in the solar and galactic cosmic ray environments made possible by recent experimental and theoretical work are discussed and presented. The recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences' space radiation study panel, are used in conjunction with a shielding analysis, to evaluate the radiation status of an astronaut during the triple solar particle event of 10, 14, 16 July 1959.
