    Occupational exposure to ionising radiation in the region of Anatolia, Turkey for the period 1995-1999
    (Oxford, 2004) Gündüz, Hüseyin; Zeyrek, C. Tuğrul; Aksu, Levent; Işak, Solmaz; 0000-0001-6744-7841; TAEK-ANAEM
    For this study, the individual annual dose information on classified workers who occupational exposure due to extended radiation sources in Anatolia region of Turkey was assessed and analysed by the Ankara Nuclear Research and Training Centre dosimetry service (ANAEM) at the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) for the years 1995-1999. The monitored radiation workers are divided into three main work sectors: conventional industry (8.24%), medicine (90.20%) and research-education (1.56%). The average annual dose for all workers in each particular sector was 0.14 mSv , 0.38 mSv and 0.08 mSv, respectively, in 1995 to 1999. This paper contains the detailed analysis of occupational exposure. The statistical analysis provided includes the mean annual dose, the collective dose, distributions of the dose over the different sectors and the number of workers that have exceed any the established dose levels.

    A simple method for estimating cosmic radiation doses for aircrew
    (Ankara University, Institute of Nuclear Sciences, 2014-08) Aksu, Levent; TAEK
    In Turkey, about 15,000 people are employed as aircrew. In this study, the effective dose of the aircrew due to cosmic radiation has been proposed a simple method for estimating radiation dose. In this article, using CARI-6 program can run a new program has been prepared in EXCEL on the PC based Windows operating system. Using this program, various altitudes, latitude and longitude cosmic radiation dose rates were calculated. The results calculated using a simple method in comparison with the original CARI-6 calculated at several flight data flight doses has been found to be compatible. Using this method for 0 to 20,000 m in altitude cosmic radiation doses can be calculated without the need for another program.
