Changes in occupational exposure of Bulgarian citizens working with radiation sources in the period 1980 - 1991. Current level and future trends

Abstract

The study is based on data from the Central System for Individual and Dosimetric Control for the period 1980 - 1991. The centralized control is accomplished by film- and thermoluminescent dosemeters and embraces about 800 persons. The average annual equivalent doses for medical workers are in the range 0.6 - 0.9 mSv/y, and for the industry - in the range 1.3 - 3.1 mSv/y. The irradiation of gamma-defectoscopists and radiation internists is relatively higher. The forecasted values for occupational irradiation of the persons started working in irradiation environment after 1971 are in the range 30 - 100 mSv. Higher values (about 300 mSv) are predicted for the medical personnel working in gamma defectoscopy and curie-therapy. 4 refs., 3 tabs., 3 figs. (A.B.).
