Introduction

External exposure results from radiation that comes

from radioactive material outside of the body. A

"personnel dosimeter" is a device used to measure

external dose. Internal dose is radiation that comes

from radioactive material within the body. The

whole body counter, chest counter, and bioassay

sampling are methods for measuring internal dose.

Personnel monitoring for radiation dose involves

assessing exposure due to external sources and

internal sources.
