Description

The staff of the plant was grouped on their work ranges. The annual effective dose resulted from radon and the decay products of 222Rn/220Rn is studied by measuring radon concentration with double filter membrane method and by measuring the concentration of 222Rn/220Rn short life radioactive decay products with five-count method. Based on the results, specific protection measures are proposed for high radon areas. The study results show that the monitoring data for all areas except the spent fuel pool was smaller than the recommended values by ICRP. (authors)
