Assessment of individual external exposure doses based on environmental radiation in areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident
Assessing individual external exposure doses from ambient dose equivalents is valuable for predictive and retrospective purposes when personal dosimeters are impractical. This study developed a model to assess individual external exposure doses from ambient dose equivalents, considering daily life patterns (location and time spent in various places), and evaluated parameters associated with individual external exposure doses, such as the reduction effects of radiation due to buildings and vehicles. The model parameters were evaluated using the robust datasets of environmental radiation measured in areas affected by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS) accident. The effective dose estimated by the model was compared to 106 daily personal dose equivalents measured using personal dosimeters in the residents’ living environments near the FDNPS. The estimated effective dose well consists with the measured personal dose equivalents, particularly when considering natural radiation in indoor dose estimation. This model is adequate for radiation protection, enabling the predictive and retrospective estimation of individual external exposure doses using environmental radiation monitoring data.
