Methods for Assessing Occupational Radiation Doses due to Intakes of Radionuclides

The monitoring of workers and the workplace is an integral part of any occupational radiation protection programme. This report contains practical advice on the interpretation of such monitoring results and the assessment of committed effective doses to workers. A CD-ROM of tables is included.

Radioactive material is used in many human activities, and whenever unsealed radioactive sources are present intakes of radionuclides by workers can occur. Intakes can occur by a number of routes, and the monitoring of workers and the workplace is an integral part of any occupational radiation protection programme. This report contains practical advice on the interpretation of such monitoring results and the assessment of committed effective doses to workers. A CD-ROM of tables is included.
