Radiation protection control report for the research centre Seibersdorf for the year 1988

The radiation protection control report for the Research Centre Seibersdorf comprises the results of all measurements which have been performed during the year 1988 by the radiation protection control department to protect the employees and the environment of the Research Centre Seibersdorf. Personnel monitoring was carried out by TL-dosimetry to control the external dose, by body counting and excretion analysis for the surveillance of internal exposure. Monitoring of working places was performed by smear tests and measurements of the activity concentration in the air. The result of the environmental surveillance proves that in the year of 1988 no employee of the centre or any other firms was exposured to a dose above the limits set in the Austrian code of regulations. The net dose, amounted to less than 1% of the annual limit of 50 mSv for occupationally exposed workers. For a collective of 345 employees actually occupied in radiation areas the average annual dose amounted to 1,47 mSv/a (147 mrem/a) which is less than 3 % of the maximum value. The releases to the environment were also below the limits set by the authorities, is many cases by orders of magnitude. In accordance with this, the measurements in the environment of the research centre prove that no influence of the research centre on the environment is observable. 23 tabs., 14 figs.
