Internal monitoring of intakes of radioactive materials: New approaches of the ICRP
نویسندگان
چکیده
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has formulated recommendations concerning the philosophy of radiation protection. This philosophy has been used by the IAEA, World Health Organization (WHO), International Labour Organisation (ILO), and the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (NEA/OECD) for preparation in 1982 of the revised Basic safety standards for radiation protection. It provides a worldwide basis for harmonized and up-todate radiation protection standards.* These revised standards were a new substantial step in the continuing efforts of the Agency towards reducing the risk resulting from the use of radioactive materials and other sources of ionizing radiation. The main idea of this ICRP —philosophy is the control~of~rndividuai~risks~through~ special dose limits, optimization of radiation protection, and justification of all practices involving exposure to radiation.

Evaluation of retention and excretion function to members of the public for chronic intakes of radionuclides
The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident resulted in a release of radionuclides to the environment and a wide range of radioactive contamination. The national government and local governments implemented urgent protective actions to reduce internal exposure from ingestion of food and tap water or inhalation of radionuclides after the accident. There has been some concern in evaluatin...

ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...

The purpose of this study is to estimate internal dose to human body due to administration of I-131 using new biokinetic model of iodine. In this respect, we used international commission on radiological protection (ICRP) adult reference phantoms. Monte Carlo calculations were performed using MCNPX 2.6 code. The average dose to target organ per disintegration inside source organ, namely S facto...

In this study, the trajectory and the concentration of radioactive nuclei in the atmosphere resulting from the Fars proposed research reactor innormal operation condition have been investigated. Since the reactor is in the conceptual design stage, so we use the characteristics of the Tehran research reactor, which is very similar to this reactor. Simulations were carried out for a one-year peri...
