Description
The Institution of Nuclear Engineers symposium on 'ALARA': Quantitative Optimization Techniques for Radiation Protection in the Nuclear Industry was held in London on 18 September 1986, and was attended by over 130 delegates from all branches of the nuclear industry. The process of quantitative optimization of radiation protection affects the design, construction and operation of nuclear installations, and is essential to all those who have to deal with the consequences to the public of radioactive emission from nuclear power facilities. The concept of ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable) has been developed in line with the International Commission on Radiation Protection recommendations on dose limitation. Its aim is to provide a realistic balance between the desire to keep radiation exposure to a minimum and the economic and social factors relevant to decisions on health and safety in the nuclear industry. This book contains the eight invited papers presented at the symposium, together with summaries of the discussions that took place after each of the four sessions.
