A U.S. Department of Energy facility must comply with the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for radioactive air emissions. The standard is an effective dose of less than 0.1 mSv y to the maximum public receptor. Additionally, a lower dose level may be assigned to a specific emission point in a State issued permit. A method to efficiently estimate the expected dose for future emissions is described. This method is most appropriately applied to a research facility with several emission points with generally low emission levels of numerous isotopes.
美国能源部的设施必须遵守放射性空气排放的《国家有害空气污染物排放标准》。该标准规定最大公众受照剂量的有效剂量低于0.1毫希沃特/年。此外,在州颁发的许可证中,可能会为特定排放点指定更低的剂量水平。本文描述了一种有效估算未来排放预期剂量的方法。该方法最适用于有多个排放点、多种同位素排放水平普遍较低的研究设施。
