Foreword

Reduction of doses to workers in nuclear power stations has always been a vital
aim in radiation protection. The most effective measure to achieve this aim is the
application in daily practice of the basic principle of optimisation in radiation
protection, also known as the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
principle.
The EC Directorate General for the Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection
has taken a series of measures to support the efforts of national authorities in
implementing this principle. Among these activities was the establishment of a
programme for the direct exchange of information and experience between those
responsible for operational radiation protection in light water nuclear power reactors
operating throughout Europe. At present light water reactor operators from the EU
member states as well as from Finland, Hungary, Sweden and Switzerland are
contributing to the programme. In order to achieve this and have a common basis for
the discussions during the annual meeting with the respective experts, the operators
transmitted their collected data on occupational doses to the Commission which then
analysed the values and established the relevant statistics.
This second publication in that context summarises the data collected on job-related
doses during eleven years' operation (1981-1991) of this pan-European programme.
It appears at the present moment because the amount of data now gathered permits
the presentation of reliable statistical results and because changes in the field of
practical radiation protection are on the horizon. Following the implementation of
new concepts in radiation protection direct comparison of former and future dose
values will not be possible without additional interpretation.
The data and their analyses should not be used to assess the effectiveness of the
implementation of the ALARA principle in different power stations or to provide
arguments for a sort of competition between power stations. The aim is rather to
enable those with responsibilities for radiation protection to select more precisely
the fields of future action in the light of the very detailed information of the
data bank.
