Abstract:
:This article presents an optimization study for radiological protection in a U mine. The mathematical model of the alpha contamination associated with short-lived Rn daughters allows the comparison of various protection strategies through a cost-effectiveness analysis. Determining the optimal protection strategy is carried out by choosing a value for the mansievert. This procedure may be of use as a decision-aiding tool within the framework of radiological protection.
