Abstract Seven individuals were occupationally exposed to airborne radioactive material, which caused an intake of multiple isotopes and an uptake of 60Co. Committed effective dose equivalents were calculated using ICRP Publication 30 methodology in accordance with US Regulation 10 CFR 20. Doses were in the range of 0.1–2.63 mSv for all individuals. Continued monitoring via whole body counting continues to detect internal contamination of 60Co from this event at 321 d post intake.
