Abstract

Probabilistic risk assessment studies use probability distributions for one or more variables of the risk equation in order to quantitatively characterize the variability and uncertainty. In this study, an advanced technique called the two-dimensional Monte Carlo analysis (2D MCA) is applied to estimation of radiological risk for worker and member of the public in the vicinity of the work place for field radiological system in Korea. The variables of the risk model along with the parameters of these variables are described in terms of probability density functions (PDFs). Because the frequencies of normal tasks were far higher than those of accidents, the total risk associated with normal tasks was higher than the accidental risk. The result derived from this work can be used as guidance for the decision-making in controlling the radiological risk in the field of radiography area.
