The distributions of beta dose were measured by an extrapolation ionization chamber at definite depthes corresponding to some superficial organs and tissues such as the radiosensitive layer of the skin, cornea, sclera, anterior chamber and lens of eyeball.The ratios among superficial absorbed dose D (0.07) and average absorbed doses at the depthes 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 mm are also obtained with Cross's methods. They can be used for confining the deterministic effects of some superficial tissues and organs such as the skin and the components of eyeball for weakly penetrating radiations.展开更多

The article is written based on many years＇ experience and analysis of radiation hazardous works performed during scheduled maintenance of NPP equipment. It highlights significance of planning radiation doses （dose quotas） and organization of pending works during outages based on lessons learned. The results of works allowed to give due consideration to training of NPP maintenance personnel, improvement of labour conditions, workplace setup and enhancement of radiation protection means.展开更多
