Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The current European Directive on radiation protection requires that exposure of air crew to cosmic radiation should be assessed if it is likely to exceed 1 milliSievert per year. The approach to this problem in the European Union is described and the relative merits of experimental measurement and computer based assessment are discussed. The particular importance of protection against cosmic radiation exposure in the case of female air crew during pregnancy is described. |
