200. BELARUS EXPERIENCE OF APPLYING THE DOSE CONSTRAINT FOR OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED WORKERS IN NATIONAL REGULATIONS

Ms Alena Nikalaenko (Scientific and Practical Center of Hygiene )

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

By now the DC concept for occupational exposure has been widely used in various exposure situations, however, the comprehensive review of its practical implementation allows speaking that in many cases the used DC does not resemble DC as defined by the ICRP.
In the Republic of Belarus, the commitment of the source operator (employer for use) and the State Sanitary Supervision (hereinafter...

173. Enhancement of National Regulatory Requirements for Occupational Radiation Protection based on Gap Analysis of International Standards and Challenges

Mr MUHAMMAD NADEEM (PAKISTAN NUCLEAR REGULATORY AUTHORITY)

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

PNRA Regulations on Radiation Protection-PAK/904 Rev.0 were issued in 2004 and were based on International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for Safety of Radiation Sources (BSS-115). Regulations-PAK/904 describe the regulatory requirements for occupational radiation protection that are applicable to all nuclear and radiation facilities in Pakistan. The...

106. Implications of the ICRU 95 quantities for Swiss personal dosimetry services: a status quo

Lily Bossin (Paul Scherrer Institute)

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

The main objective of the revision of operational quantities for personal dosimetry as introduced in the ICRU Report 95 was to use more realistic human phantoms in the calculations of conversion factors between quantities, and hence to allow for more appropriate personal dose estimates, H$_{\text{p}}$, and skin dose estimates, D$_{\text{local skin}}$. The simplified geometries used in the past...

81. REGULATORY CONTROL FOR THE OCCUPATIONAL RADIATION PROTECTION

essa Alkhalaylah (Section Head, Industrial Radiological Applications at Jordan Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (Regulatory body))

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

The establishment of a regulatory framework for the occupational radiation protection is one of the main responsibilities of the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) as a regulatory body in Jordan. EMRC has hosted several missions from the International Atomic Energy Agency, in particular the Integrated Regulatory Review Service Mission (IRRS), this mission recommended to improve...

146. Regulatory requirments regarding occupational exposure

Gordana Nikolova

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

The regulatory body established and enforces requirements to ensure that protection and safety is optimized, and the regulatory body enforces compliance with dose limits for occupational exposure through its authority provided in the legislation for inspection and enforcement.
The regulatory body established and enforces requirements for the monitoring and recording of occupational exposures...

234. Some inconsistencies in the present system of radiation protection quantities

Jozef Sabol (Department of Crisis Management, PA CR in Prague)

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

The system of radiation protection quantities has been developing for years, beginning with the introduction of the roentgen to assess the exposure to X-rays and gamma rays at the end of the 1920s. In the beginning, there was no clear distinction between the unit and the quantity and between what we now refer to as stochastic and deterministic effects. The unit roentgen was redefined several...

218. The Role of Regulatory Body (FANR) in Strengthening Radiation ‎Protection by Controlling Occupational Radiation Exposure and ‎Enhancing Training in Medical and Industrial field

ZEINAB ALHUSARI (FANR), Ms Kaltham Alhosani (FANR)

1. Review of international standards and recommendations on occupational radiation protection, progress over the past twenty years and existing challenges

Poster

The implementation of radiation safety regulations particularly in occupational exposure for both ‎medical and industrial fields raises challenges for all regulators, health authorities, and users. In view of ‎this, Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR), the regulatory body in the UAE, issued series of ‎regulations and guides since its establishment year in 2009. FANR adopted...
