The overview of internal exposure monitoring in Lithuania

Abstract

This study deals with analysis of situation and results of internal exposure monitoring of radiation workers and population in Lithuania. Radiation workers are assessed for internal exposures by direct methods--whole body counting or organ counting by gamma spectrometry at the Radiation Protection Centre and Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP). Results of monitoring of INPP and nuclear medicine workers show that no significant activities were detected. The annual committed effective doses of workers are <1 mSv. The measured average activity of 40K in males and females was 3.7 +/- 1.0 and 2.5 +/- 0.7 kBq, respectively. Mixed diet sampled at hospitals in 2001-5 was analysed for (90)Sr and (137)Cs activity concentrations. Average effective dose due to 90Sr and 137Cs in mixed diet was 0.6 +/- 0.2 and 0.47 +/- 0.13 microSv, respectively. Indoor radon measurements were done in multi-storey houses. Average concentration was 15.1 +/- 1.0 Bq m(-3). The annual effective dose aused by radon was 0.38 mSv.
