Dose commitements of personnel at nuclear facilities

In connection with the increasing number of nuclear plants in the FRG, the compilation of data on the radiation exposure of monitored personnel has begun. This inventory is to serve the recognition of critical aspects and as a basis for expert activity in the field of radiation work protection. In the radiation exposure considerations, one differentiates between normal operation and the revision phase of the nuclear plant. Also a breakdown of the total dose of all monitored persons according to exposed persons for own and foreign personnel is carried out. The high exposure values in the revision and operational phases exceeding authorized basic allowance, whose increase with operational time of a plant is approximately squared, makes one realize the necessity of paying more attention to 'radiation work protection'.
