Abstract
The collective dose to egyptian atomic energy authority workers during the period from 1991 - 1995 were statistically evaluated. The personnel dosimetry in use since 1957 for evaluating external exposure doses was mainly the Harwell blue badge and kodak radiation monitoring film for X and Gamma photons. The calibration sensitivity of the badge system was evaluated under the `AL` and/or `Pb/Sn alloy` filters. The results of calibration showed 15% errors in the predicted values for whole body effective doses. The statistical survey showed that the annual collective dose ranged between 0.83-1.54 man Sv. The annual limit of exposure presented 25-58% of the recommended annual limit by ICRP- 60 (1991). Details of the study will be considered in the text. 4 tabs.
