Book Description
The prospect of large-scale commercial passenger transportation at SST altitudes in the lower stratosphere calls for an accurate assessment of the galactic radiation exposure. Highest radiation levels prevail at high latitudes (polar region) and solar minimum and reach about 1 millirem/hour at 65,000 feet. The accumulated dose of 0.6 rem/year which an SST crew member spending 600 hours/year at altitude would receive exceeds the Maximum Permissible Dose (MPD) for 'Members of the Public' and would classify crew members as 'Radiation Workers' in terms of official recommendations. The assumption of 50 SST each exposing 200 passengers to 1000 hours/year at SST altitude would lead to a population dose about equal to the contribution from industrial radiation workers, with both exposures ranking well below the two largest man-made additions to the natural background, medical use of x-rays and fallout. The heavy flux is attenuated to 3 per cent or less at 65,000 feet, depending on the nuclear species; yet, only 0.1 per cent of this residual flux accounts for maximum ionization hits. That means the microbeam hazard of heavy nuclei is insignificant at SST altitudes. (Author).
