Abstract
During one year more than 40000 items of information on radiation exposure of personnel involved in the handling of radiation sources as well more than 5,000,000 items of information on irradiation of other people are collected in our laboratory.
Considerable progress in assessment of mean annual gonad dose and genetically significant dose has been attained by means of an algorithm for a personal computer.
This simple and inexpensive system has led to a higher accuracy in the application of protective measures.
