Radiation Exposure
Radiation Dosimetry
General Public Dose General Public Dose Limit = 100 Limit = 100 mremmrem/yr/yr
Average Dose to US Average Dose to US Public = 360 Public = 360 mremmrem/yr/yr
Occupational Dose Occupational Dose Limit = 5,000 Limit = 5,000 mremmrem/yr/yr
Average Dose to NIST Researcher ~ 50 mrem/yr

Ionizing Radiation - Overview
Can not see it, feel it, or smell itCan not see it, feel it, or smell it- we must rely on training and equipment to protect ourselves
Relatively simple to detect and measureRelatively simple to detect and measure- unlike chemical and biological hazards- we can quickly assess and take action
Biological effects have been intensely Biological effects have been intensely studied for 50 yearsstudied for 50 years
