Description

Based on the measurements of carbon -14 concentration in samples collected from Xiajiawan village and sea areas around the Qinshan nuclear power plant (abbreviated as NPP) base in 2009, the annual intake of carbon -14 caused by inhalation of air and ingestion of food were estimated with consideration to local living and dietary habits. Then, by using the age-dependent dose coefficient recommended by the national standard of GB 18871-2002, the annual committed effective dose of residents around the Qinshan NPP base were calculated. The result shows the 7-12 years old resident group from Xiajiawan village suffered the biggest annual commited effctive dose of 14.11 μSv/a. (authors)
