Abstract

The work describes the results of the personal dosimetry service carried out by the External Dosimetry of the Center for Radiation Protection and Hygiene from 2006 to 2009. Data about number of monitored occupationally exposure workers and occupational radiation exposure levels are analyzed, which are also compared with previously period and UNSCEAR reports. The results show that the number of occupational exposure workers is increase in the period; only about 50% of monitored workers were exposed. The average individual values of annual effective doses were less than 1 mSv for all monitored practices. The comparison with previously period showed a decreasing tendency in the number of exposed workers and in the average annual doses.
