Abstract
The main pathways by which technologically enhanced radioactive materi als can impact on human health have been examined. Analytical methods are presented for calculation of the radiation doses for the dominant pathways for external and internal exposure. The application of comput er modelling to the assessment of the radiological impact of NORM is a lso discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
