Description

This work describes some aspects of the implementation of the radiological protection program developed specifically for the Caldas uranium mine facility. The items described are: the responsibilities of the staff concerning their radiation exposures; a brief description of the sources and practices; the occupational dose levels of the site which are at maximum 0,9 mSv/year due to mining material exposure and up to 8 mSv/year due to exposure to the external radioactive material stored in Caldas facility; the occupational controls and monitoring programs; and the occupational radiological protection training program.
