Description
The relation between operational quantities and risk quantities in radiation protection is discussed. Measurements made in the operational quantities ambient and personal dose equivalent, as defined by ICRU, are understood to provide and upper bound for the limits on radiological risk as recommended in Publication 60 of ICRP. These limits are actually expressed in effective dose, a quantity that is different from the previously used quantity effective dose equivalent. (author). 19 refs, 5 figs
