THE RADIATION PROTECTION EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT
SINOPSIS
Most radiation protection measures should use the ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). It is often forgotten that the important part of the principle is reasonably achievable. Specialists usually do not use the assessment of the economical effectiveness. This assessment
should be performed first. The difficulty of effectiveness assessment is related to the absence of expression risk cost in the Ukraine and most European countries. But, Great Britain has established the marginal cost of radiation protection measures. We would like to propound a new
model for the definition of effectiveness of radiation protection measures related to dose limits, risk assessments, and purchasing power parity rate.
A new approach is proposed for setting control and administrative-technical levels that characterize
the state of radiation safety, and for preparation of reporting in providing measurement data that are close to the minimum-detectable activity.
