S61 Radiation protection and dosimetry
Definines what it is and includes:




Radiation protection standards: technical standards, including definitions and units, dealing
with the presence of radioactive materials, natural or artificial (e.g. radon in houses or
mines), or with the operation of reactors or other nuclear equipment or facility when such
standards are set to provide radiation protection for man, documents about such standards
Radiation protection procedures: procedures designed wholly or primarily to provide
radiation protection for man (except for shielding of reactors and accelerators), prevention of
contamination or procedures for decontamination, including chemical decontamination of
materials, structures and equipment, measurements of clearance or exemption levels
Dosimetry and monitoring: personnel dosimetry and radiation monitoring (e.g., in nuclear
facilities, industry, radiotherapy, X-ray diagnostics, nuclear medicine) for both patients and
medical personnel, medical surveillance of personnel exposed to ionizing radiations in
conformance with national or international radiation protection regulations or
recommendations, population dose estimates, collective dose and dose commitment from
natural background radiation (e.g. radon in houses or mines), or as a result of nuclear
accidents, from medical or industrial use of radioisotopes and ionizing radiations or from
contaminated food, calculation and measurement of absorbed doses in man, animals, plants
and other biological systems at all levels, as well as in tissue-equivalent materials and
phantoms
Legal aspects of protecting personnel, members of the public, and the environment against
contamination from the operation of nuclear facilities, legal aspects of direct or indirect
applications of radioisotopes and radiation to man (e.g., medical and industrial applications,
food irradiation, radiation from consumer products)

860^Construction of Floating Nuclear Power Plants, FNPPs, is currently under way for supplying power in
remote regions in the coastal zone, power-generating units as components of nuclear water desalination
complexes and for supplying power for marine oil drilling platforms, etc. In this paper the innovative small sized
VBER-150 reactor plant, based on the experience in design and operation of marine modular reactors and NPPs
with reactors of the VVER type, is reviewed and their neutron-physical characteristics for Thorium based fuel
cycles are calculated with the well-known MCNP computational code. (Author)
