PROBLEMS OF SUBTRACTION OF THE BACKGROUND IN THE PROCESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL RADIATION CONTROL AND RADIATING CONTROL ON OPEN AIR

Abstract

In article the problem of an adequate estimation of individual doses of the personnel exposure, caused by the combined action of artificial (professional) and natural factors, is discussed. Results and problems of measurement of a dose rate of external gamma radiation on the open air are shown at the use of professional dosimeters with various levels of the «zero background». It is shown that for the correct account of the natural background, an exception of incorrect conclusions at a radiation control, maintenance of unity of measurements at radiating control on open air, it is necessary to prepare new methodical instructions of the Federal or departmental level.
