Statistical Analysis of the Doses Received by the Aircrew and the Medical Personnel: Comparison and Trends

The present study attempts a first analysis of the aircrew doses and a comparison with the respective values of the medical personnel. The national radition proetection database developed in EEAE has been proved a powerful tool that enabled such a procedure. The dose distributions, the mean annual doses and their respective trends are used as evaluation criteria of the national radiation protection programme. From the analysis, it was shown that the doses of the aircrew never exceeded the 6 mSv. The shape of the distribution of the two working categories and the two sexes are different which reflects the differences in the respective working experience and duties. Finally, it is shown that the mean annual doses of the exposed medical personnel are lower than the respective values of the aircrew. (author)
