The OECD/NEA Programme on Radon and Thoron Dosimetry and Monitoring: Its Contribution to the Assessment of Public Exposure to Natural Radiation

O. Ilari and F. Steinhäusler (INVITED)

Inhalation of radon, thoron and their daughters is now recognised to be the most important pathway to exposure of mankind to natural radiation sources. The progressive understanding of the increasing role of this exposure in the overall radiation detriment to the public and workers, produced an increasing concern in several countries about the problems of dosimetry and measurement of these nuclides. This trend was readily appreciated by NEA, which began an active programme in this field in 1976. The effort of NEA focussed on two main areas, namely (a) development of dosimetric models and study of correlation between exposure and dose (Phase I), and (b) review of principles and techniques of metrology and development of guidance on monitoring (Phase II).
