ICRP has brought out reports reducing permissible equivalent dose limits for occupational personnel. How will it affect on-going radiation/nuclear activities?
For the ongoing programmes the reduction of exposure potential has been achieved in stages (0.04 Sv in 1991, 0.035 Sv in 1993 etc.) so as to bring down the exposures to 0.02Sv/year. As it is, dose contribution from operating our present plants is only a fraction of their permissible allocation and these will require no significant modification. Modifications are introduced in all future plants and where required even in the older plants.
