ABSTRACT

In the 2007 recommendation, the ICRP evolves from the previous process-based system of practices and intervention to the system based on the characteristics of radiation exposure situation. In addition, ICRP recommends the application of source-related dose constraints under the planned exposure situation as a tool for the optimization of protection to workers and the member of public. In this study, the analysis of radioactive effluents from Korean nuclear power plants and the public dose assessment were conducted in reference with the use of dose constraints. Finally, the measure to implement the dose constraints for the member of public was suggested taking into account multi-unit reactors operating at a single site in Korea.
