30-millirem concept
 scroll 
The radiation exposure of the human being due to the discharge of radioactive
substances into the air or water during the operation of nuclear facilities
and while handling radioactive substances is governed by the Radiological
Protection Ordinance by means of strictly limiting values. The Section
of the Radiological Protection
Ordinance governing the protection of the population specifies the
following dose limit values resulting from radioactive substance disposal
in air or water:
effective dose |
0.3 mSv/year, |
gonads, uterus, red bone marrow |
0.3 mSv/year, |
all other organs |
0.9 mSv/year, |
bone surface, skin |
1.8 mSv/year. |
This radiation protection concept is named after the
former dose unit millirem - 0.3 mSv is equal to 30 millirem.
