The evaluation of occupational overexposures in the Czech Republic

Abstract

National Radiation Protection Institute (NRPI), following the world-wide trends, started in 1993 the realisation of the Central Registry of Occupational Radiation Exposures (CROE). Since 1996 the CROE will be able not only to registrate individual doses for radiation workers in the Czech Republic, but also to estimate collective doses in defferent occupational categories, to determine and analyse time trends in these groups, to compare exposures for different practices with the sources of ionizing radiation. The content and form of the information entering to CROE accidental data-base is in principal specified in two parts: (1) A cover sheet containing basic information about given overexposure (source of first information, time frame, type of radiation source, type of exposure, workers involved, etc.); (2) A narrative account describing circumstances (exposure conditions, equipments, facilities, safety system, what happened), causes (inadequate design, construction, maintenance, written local rules, management, source security, infrastructure, information from the manufacturer, training, failure warning, safety systems, shielding, monitoring instruments), consequences (medical factors, dosimetric evaluation, etc.) of the overexposure. Record keeping of overexposures is based on two systems: (1) If there is suspicion on overexposure at a workplace, licensee is obligated to estimate of the severity of given event; an investigation shall be  More>>

In the case when the annual limit of the effective dose equivalent (H{sub E,L}) is exceeded the event must be reported to Regional Centers State Office for Nuclear Safety (RC SONS).
