【 摘 要 】

There are many members of the Health Physics Society that will argue that low leveb of radiation are not harmFul and too much money and time are spent trying to reduce dose. During this presentation we are not going to debate this issue. This presentation will cover the fundamental principles of ALARA and how hazards need to be analyzed to ensure safety of the environment and the public. As radiation safety specialists, we are all bound by law to have an ALARA program in place and even though dose limits may change in the future, we need to implement programs that protect our workers, the public, and the environment.
