20、 basis for measurements Part 2: Characterization of instrument response Part 3: Measurements at aviation altitudesiv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 20785-3:2015ISO 20785-3:2015(E)IntroductionAircraft crews are exposed to elevated levels of cosmic radiation of galactic and solar origin and second
21、ary radiation produced in the atmosphere, the aircraft structure and its contents. Following recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection in Publication 60,1confirmed by Publication 103,2the European Union (EU) introduced a revised Basic Safety Standards Directive3which
22、 included exposure to natural sources of ionizing radiation, including cosmic radiation, as occupational exposure. The Directive requires account to be taken of the exposure of aircraft crew liable to receive more than 1 mSv per year. It then identifies the following four protection measures: (i) to
23、 assess the exposure of the crew concerned; (ii) to take into account the assessed exposure when organizing working schedules with a view to reducing the doses of highly exposed crew; (iii) to inform the workers concerned of the health risks their work involves; and (iv) to apply the same special pr
24、otection during pregnancy to female crew in respect of the child to be born as to other female workers. The EU Council Directive has to be incorporated into laws and regulations of EU Member States and has to be included in the aviation safety standards and procedures of the Joint Aviation Authoriti
25、es and the European Air Safety Agency. Other countries such as Canada and Japan have issued advisories to their airline industries to manage aircraft crew exposure.For regulatory and legislative purposes, the radiation protection quantities of interest are equivalent dose (to the foetus) and effecti
26、ve dose. The cosmic radiation exposure of the body is essentially uniform and the maternal abdomen provides no effective shielding to the foetus. As a result, the magnitude of equivalent dose to the foetus can be put equal to that of the effective dose received by the mother. Doses on board aircraft
27、 are generally predictable, and events comparable to unplanned exposure in other radiological workplaces cannot normally occur (with the rare exceptions of extremely intense and energetic solar particle events). Personal dosemeters for routine use are not considered necessary. The preferred approach
28、 for the assessment of doses of aircraft crew, where necessary, is to calculate directly effective dose rate, as a function of geographic location, altitude and solar cycle phase, and to fold these values with flight and staff roster information to obtain estimates of effective doses for individuals
29、. This approach is supported by guidance from the European Commission, the ICRP in Publication 754and the ICRU in Report 84.5The role of calculations in this procedure is unique in routine radiation protection and it is widely accepted that the calculated doses should be validated by measurement. Ef
30、fective dose is not directly measurable. The operational quantity of interest is ambient dose equivalent, H*(10). Indeed, as indicated in particular in ICRU Report 84, the ambient dose equivalent is considered to be a conservative estimator of effective dose if isotropic or superior isotropic irradi
31、ation can be assumed. In order to validate the assessed doses obtained in terms of effective dose, calculations can be made of ambient dose equivalent rates or route doses in terms of ambient dose equivalent, and values of this quantity determined by measurements traceable to national standards. The
32、 validation of calculations of ambient dose equivalent for a particular calculation method may be taken as a validation of the calculation of effective dose by the same computer code, but this step in the process may need to be confirmed. The alternative is to establish, a priori, that the operation
33、al quantity ambient dose equivalent is a good estimator of effective dose and equivalent dose to the foetus for the radiation fields being considered, in the same way that the use of the operational quantity personal dose equivalent is justified for the estimation of effective dose for radiation wor
34、kers. Ambient dose equivalent rate as a function of geographic location, altitude and solar cycle phase is then calculated and folded with flight and staff roster information.The radiation field in aircraft at altitude is complex, with many types of ionizing radiation present, with energies ranging
35、up to many GeV. The determination of ambient dose equivalent for such a complex radiation field is difficult. In many cases, the methods used for the determination of ambient dose equivalent in aircraft are similar to those used at high-energy accelerators in research laboratories. Therefore, it is
36、possible to recommend dosimetric methods and methods for the calibration of dosimetric devices, as well as the techniques for maintaining the traceability of dosimetric measurements to national standards. Dosimetric measurements made to evaluate ambient dose equivalent have to be performed using acc
37、urate and reliable methods that ensure the quality of readings provided to workers and regulatory authorities. This part of ISO 20785 gives procedures for the characterization of the response of instruments for the determination of ambient dose equivalent in aircraft. ISO 2015 All rights reserved vB
38、S ISO 20785-3:2015ISO 20785-3:2015(E)Requirements for the determination and recording of the cosmic radiation exposure of aircraft crew have been introduced into the national legislation of EU Member States and other countries. Harmonization of methods used for determining ambient dose equivalent an
39、d for calibrating instruments is desirable to ensure the compatibility of measurements performed with such instruments.This part of ISO 20785 is intended for the use of primary and secondary calibration laboratories for ionizing radiation, by radiation protection personnel employed by governmental a
40、gencies, and by industrial corporations concerned with the determination of ambient dose equivalent for aircraft crew.vi ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 20785-3:2015INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 20785-3:2015(E)Dosimetry for exposures to cosmic radiation in civilian aircraft Part 3: Measurements at a
