A Catalogue of Requirements for the Monitoring of Intakes of Radionuclides in Radiological Emergencies

In the case of an emergency exposure situation, in addition to the immediate measures to stop the release, there is also a need for measures to analyse the potential intakes of radionuclides among emergency personnel and the directly affected population. This catalogue of requirements could serve as a basis for the development of regulations in the event of emergency exposure situations and intends to refer, in particular, to the responsibilities and tasks, an estimate of the material and personnel requirements, and the metrological requirements. We present the catalogue that was developed by the working group “Monitoring of Intakes” of the German-Swiss Association for Radiation Protection taking into account German regulations.
