Abstract
This review paper presents an overview of individual monitoring, as well as the national dose register and dose record management of radiation workers in China. Progress has recently been made on the individual monitoring of radiation workers. A critical analysis of current status and problems in individual monitoring is also presented and necessary future research on individual monitoring, such as the monitoring technology in the form of the ring dosimeters and eye lens dosimeters, is suggested.
Highlights
The individual monitoring system was established in the nuclear industry sector in the 1950s in China
Individual monitoring is of great significance to the discovery and improvement of the relevant issues in the field of radiation protection, and to the guarantee of occupational health and safety of radiation workers
In order to meet the needs of the radiation protection of workers under the new situation, the individual monitoring and health examination were launched, on a step by step basis, for the radiation workers involved in medicine and industry sectors
Summary
The individual monitoring system was established in the nuclear industry sector in the 1950s in China. Individual monitoring is an important part of the radiation health work. It can objectively reflect the level of the dose received by the radiation workers and provide the necessary basis for the radiological protection evaluation and the necessity to follow up on possible acute radiation tissue injuries. Individual monitoring is of great significance to the discovery and improvement of the relevant issues in the field of radiation protection, and to the guarantee of occupational health and safety of radiation workers. The history, current status and perspectives of individual monitoring of radiation workers in China are introduced briefly in this article
