Derivation of nuclide-specific surface-clearance levels for the normal reuse of objects leaving the controlled area of a nuclear facility.
by Teun Van Dillen (RIVM, the Netherlands)
Abstract: In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear accident, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) developed a new methodology to assess the radiological consequences of surface contamination. This methodology, entitled SUDOQU (SUrface DOse QUantification), was developed with the aim to calculate the annual effective dose resulting from surface contamination of imported non-food (consumer) goods, containers and conveyances from the area affected by the accident. SUDOQU distinguishes itself from other dosimetric models for surface contamination by taking into account mechanisms related to the removability of contamination in a mass-balance framework.
