Improvements in the Identification of the Maximum Skin Exposure and the Position of its Maximum on the Surface of Hands of Workers Handling Selected Radiopharmaceuticals

Original language description

In the process of handling radiopharmaceuticals, the local skin exposure of workers,according to the ICRP recommendations as an average over 1 cm2, constitutes some restrictions. This exposure shows some inhomogeneity and, therefore, the position of themaximum exposure cannot be easily determined. Conventionally, this is established experimentally using TLDs placed at various locations on the surface of the skin of hands of workers where the maximum exposure is presumed. In fact, however, the positionsidentified as a result of such measurements may not always coincide with the real position corresponding to the maximum exposure. This means that there are some unspecified uncertainties in confronting the exposure monitored with relevant dose limit.
