1. SUMMARY

This report presents the findings of a study of the relationship between
occupational exposure and population exposure resulting from operational
practices in light water reactor plants.

A review is made of experience in LWR plants in the US. It is concluded that the
level of occupational exposure to date has averaged about 1300 man-rem per GW(e)-
year of electricity generated. The main source of occupational exposure is activated
corrosion products and between 60% and 80% of exposure occurs during maintenance
and refuelling outages. The contribution from the operation and maintenance of waste
management systems is of the order of 10% of total exposure. Whilst, in some cases,
augmentation of waste systems might marginally increase occupational exposure, in
other cases improvements in the system might reduce exposure.
