Summary
The main aims of this publication are to analyse countries' and utilities' experiences with interpretation and implementation of dose contraints in occupational radiation protection, in regulatory and operational frameworks as they were introduced in the ICRP Publ. 60; to discuss operational and regulatory issues associated with their implementation; and to provide suggestions regarding operational objectives and uses of dose constraints in light of recommendations of the ICRP Publ. 103.
This publication addresses the implementation and use of the instrument and principle of dose constraint into a radiation protection regulatory framework. It describes the role of dose constraints in the process of optimisation of radiation protection, and provides explanations where necessary in order to avoid the possible situations where dose constraints are misinterpreted or used as a stringent limit. It provides and analyses existing national regulations and practises used by various operators, as well as identifying potential issues that need to be considered in the implementation and setting of dose constraints for the purpose of occupational radiation protection.
