Exposure of the US population from occupational radiation
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5728552
The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) has reviewed the literature on the subject of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation to assemble, in a single document, the effective dose equivalents and the collective effective dose equivalents for the work force. Although achieving this goal involved the difficulties, the current Report provides evidence that occupational exposures are responsible for only a small fraction of the total collective effective dose equivalent for the entire US population. The current Report is intended primarily for the information of the radiation protection community, but it should also be of interest to the layperson for the perspective it provides on the contribution of occupational exposures to the total population exposure.
