Environmental distribution and behavior of 3H and 14C around Wolsong Nuclear Power Plants.

abstract：:This paper describes an investigation into the distribution of radiation doses to workers, undertaken at the request of ICRP Committee 4. Three main questions are considered. Firstly, the distribution of annual doses to workers is described. Doses are generally well below the ICRP dose limits and most are below 15 mSv...
