Abstract
As the International Commission on Radiological Protection lowers the equivalent dose limit for lens of the eye of radiation workers, the importance of radiation protection for the lens of the eye has been increased. In the case of poor working condition, such as high temperatures and humid environments at nuclear power plants, wearing an eye dosemeter near the worker's eye may interfere with work. In addition, it would not be reasonable for all workers to wear an eye dosemeter to evaluate the lens equivalent dose even in areas with an expected low exposure dose in the NPPs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an indirect assessment method for lens equivalent dose. The purpose of this study is to develop an indirect assessment method for a lens equivalent dose using correlation factors between whole-body dose and eye. The correlation factors are calculated by MCNP simulation results.
期刊介绍：
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
