Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Radiation protection of pregnant workers and their offspring is an issue that has been referenced in the literature by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other international institutions. Several documents of the ICRP address the issue of the protection of the pregnant workers. The new ICRP recommendations refer to the control of working conditions of a pregnant worker, after declaration of pregnancy, such that it is unlikely that the additional dose to the fetus will exceed about 1 mSv during the remainder of pregnancy. The IAEA Basic Safety Standards present similar recommendations. The IAEA is preparing a technical document that provides guidance on these issues. |
