Optimisation of workers' exposure at La Hague reprocessing plant

From the seventies, worker's radiation exposure has been steadily monitored, reduced and optimized in the COGEMA La Hague plant as demonstrated in the results in this paper. Good performance has been achieved mainly thanks to an efficient risk prevention and control policy applied throughout plant life. The plant organisation and especially the role and responsibilities of the Health Physics Department also contribute significantly to this favourable performance. (UK)
