European Study of Occupational Radiation Exposure (ESOREX).

Abstract:

:The European Study of Occupational Radiation Exposure (ESOREX) project was initiated by the general directive EC DG XI and carried out by the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz, Germany (BfS). It consists of surveys carried out in the 28 European states. The study provides comparable descriptions of the national administrative structures used to monitor and register individual occupational radiation exposure and the national dose statistics. It will establish the basis for identifying differences between the states and assessing the possibilities for European harmonisation.
