摘要
To address the issue of eye lens dosimetry in nuclear industry, we initiated the project to quantify the beta and gamma-ray source term in CANDU power plants and to convert this source term into dosimetric quantities of interest, such as eye lens dose and personal dose equivalents H-p (10), H-p (0.07). This way, the eye lens dose can be compared with dosimetric operational quantities to evaluate whether independent dosimetry is required for eye lens protection, or present dosimetry is adequate.
