Suggestion for an Indicator of 'Seriousness' in Radiation Protection

J.-L. Pasquier

Office de Protection contre les Rayonnements lonisants, Le Vésinet, France

Now is an appropriate time to elaborate on an indicator for the 'seriousness' of radioactivity to make general sense of the concepts of radio-protection. A number of solutions could be proposed, but the simplest and most understandable one for the public would consist of com paring each incident or accident of exposure to a refer ence situation, chosen by some convention; hence the idea of a 'radioactive decibel'.

Key Words: Radiation protection • Dose rate • Risk
