Recommendations and standards for monitoring individuals for occupational intakes of radionuclides

Abstract

This article summarises the information provided by two sources on applying internal dosimetry in an occupational setting. It describes the current ISO standards in internal dosimetry, which provide a basis for delivering monitoring and dose assessment for radiation workers under conditions where it can be judged that dose limits have not been exceeded. It also outlines the contents of the report on the Technical Recommendations for Monitoring Individuals for Occupational Intakes of Radionuclides, which builds on ICRP publications, the ISO standards, the EURADOS IDEAS Guidelines and other published documents to present a comprehensive account of the principles and practice of individual monitoring and internal dosimetry.
