ICRP Publication 101 : Assessing Dose of the Representative Person for the Purpose of Radiation Protection of the Public and the Optimisation of Radiological Protection Paperback / softback
by ICRP
Part of the Annals of the ICRP series
Paperback / softback
Description
This report explains the process of estimating annual dose and recognises that a number of different methods are available for this purpose.
These methods range from deterministic calculations to more complex probabilistic techniques.
In addition, a mixture of these techniques may be applied.
In selecting characteristics of the representative person, three important concepts should be borne in mind: reasonableness, sustainability, and homogeneity.
Each concept is explained and examples are provided to illustrate their roles.
Doses to the public are prospective (may occur in the future) or retrospective (occurred in the past).
Prospective doses are for hypothetical individuals who may or may not exist in the future, while retrospective doses are generally calculated for specific individuals.
