Abstract
The relation between the dose recorded with an individual tissue-equivalent luminescence dosimeter and the effective dose obtained by the human body i s calculated. The scattering of gamma rays in the human body and the surrou nding space is taken into account. It is shown that for the conditions unde r which the dose load is formed, which exist under the normal operating con ditions of a nuclear power plant, the effective dose obtained by the worker is related with the dose measured with an individual tissue-equivalent dos imeter by the worker is related with the dose measured with an individual t issue-equivalent dosimeter by the relation D-eff = 0.56 +/- 0/125D(equiv), where D-eff is the effective dose, in Sv; D-equiv is the measured dose, in Gy.
