AbstractAbstract
[en] Dose record keeping is the making and keeping of personnel dose records for radiation workers. It is an essential part of the process of monitoring the exposure of individuals to radiation and shares in the same objectives. The dose record keeping is becoming more and more critical because of the importance of statistical analysis and epidemiological studies in radiation protection, and of the increasing cooperation and exchange of personnel between countries.The GAEC's personnel dosimetry laboratory assures the personnel dosimetry all over the country and keeps the official central dose record.The personnel dosimetry information system had been established in an electronic form on 1989 in Cobol language. Since then appeared various arguments that imposed the change of the data base used. Some of them are: 1. There was no distinction between establishments and their laboratories. 2. The workers did not have a unique code number. consequently, the total dose of a person working in more than one place could not't be estimated. The workers were directly related to their workplace, so if somebody changed his working place he was treated as a new entry, resulting an overestimation of the number of monitored workers introducing an source of errors in the collective and average dose calculations. 3. With the increasing applications of the ionising radiations many types of dosemeters became indispensable e.g. for beta and gamma, for neutrons and for the extremities. Also, the new category of outside workers appeared requesting a special treatment. All these distinctions were not achievable with the previous system. 4. Last years appeared an increasing, interesting in statistical analysis of the personal doses. A program written in Cobol does not't offer many possibilities and has no flexibility for such analysis. The new information system has been rebuilt under the design of a relational database with more possibilities and more flexibility. (authors)
