Abstract
The objectives of individual monitoring of exposure to external radiation are discussed, as are the results of surveys of the workplace photon radiation fields at the Sellafield Works of British Nuclear Fuels plc. It is proposed that the most suitable normalisation of the personal dosemeter employed is that which gives the best estimates, on average, of the effective dose equivalent for the practical occupational fields.Keywords
