Description
Summary:The article provides an overview of the different components of programmes for the evaluation of the environmental impact of accelerator facilities. The starting point is the knowledge of radiation and radionuclides that may be encountered in the environment of accelerators. The second step is an efficient environmental monitoring programme suitable for the given source term. The results of the monitoring programme provide an input for models calculating the maximum effective dose received by members of the public, so expressing the dosimetric impact of the facility.
