The assessment of the annual effective dose due to ingestion of radionuclides from drinking water consumption: calculation methods

In the present paper the different ways of assessing the annual effective dose due to ingestion of radionuclides by drinking water consumption were examined and exemplified. On a set of 10 samples the gross alpha activity, the gross beta activity, the concentration of 210 Po, 210 Pb, 238 U, 232 Th a...

Description
Summary:In the present paper the different ways of assessing the annual effective dose due to ingestion of radionuclides by drinking water consumption were examined and exemplified. On a set of 10 samples the gross alpha activity, the gross beta activity, the concentration of 210 Po, 210 Pb, 238 U, 232 Th and, 226 Ra were measured. The highest annual effective dose values assessed by relying on the investigated sample set were found by using the rationale according to which all the gross alpha and beta activity is due to the alpha and beta radionuclide, with the highest effective dose coefficient, namely 210 Po and 210 Pb/ 228 Ra, respectively.
