Compendium of Dose Coefficients based on ICRP Publication 60, ICRP PUBLICATION - 119, Approved by the Commission in October 2011, Published by Elsevier Ltd., 2012, K. Eckerman, J. Harrison, H-G. Menzel and C.H. Clement

This report is a compilation of dose coefficients for intakes of radionuclides by workers and members of the public, and conversion coefficients for use in occupational radiological protection against external radiation from Publications 68 (1994), 72 (1996), and 74 (1996). It serves as a comprehensive reference for dose coefficients based on the primary radiation protection guidance given in the ICRP Publication - 60 recommendations (ICRP, 1991). 

The coefficients tabulated in this publication will be superseded in due course by values based on the ICRP Publication - 103 recommendations (ICRP, 2007). May be, it will be a long wait!

Radiation Safety of Gamma, Electron and X Ray Irradiation Facilities Specific Safety Guide, IAEA Safety Standards Series SSG-8 94 pp.; 8 figures; Language: English, Date Published: 2010

This Safety Guide provides recommendations on how to meet the requirements of the Basic Safety Standards with regard to irradiation facilities. It gives practical information on the safe design and operation of gamma, electron and X ray irradiators in accordance with these requirements, and discusses the beneficial applications of ionizing irradiation and how to avoid potential radiation hazards at industrial irradiators, including contamination arising from damaged radioactive sources. The Safety Guide is intended for use by the designers and operating organizations of these facilities and also by regulatory bodies. 

Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Justification of practices; 3. Types of irradiator; 4. Principal elements of practices; 5. Individual monitoring of workers; 6. Workplace monitoring; 7. Control over radioactive sources; 8. Irradiator design; 9. Testing and maintenance of equipment; 10. Transport, loading and unloading of radioactive sources; 11. Emergency preparedness and response (Source: www.iaea.org).
