Abstract
Based on over 5 yr of experience in fast neutron radiotherapy, the activation radiation source origins and magnitudes are discussed and the staff radiation exposures are reviewed. Source magnitudes are determined using ionization chamber survey instruments and staff doses by commercial TLD [thermoluminescent dosimetry] and film badge service reports. While staff doses exceed those obtained in conventional therapy, the levels received are well within published guidelines for occupational exposure.
