Radiation protection and health aspects of exemption and clearance

  • 1. Head of the Bureau of Radiation Protection, Ministry of Health, Paris (France)

Description

After some topics of concern about terminology, assessment of dosimetric impact and appropriate use of exemption and clearance levels, the position of the French public health authorities about clearance is developed. The relevant operational quantities for clearance procedure should be at least both activity concentration and dose rate. Management of materials is free below the clearance levels. Alternatives are considered for the converse situation. Other risks (chemical, infectious) may be prominent. They should be clearly taken into account. (author)
