Control of Personal Exposure to Ionising Radiation in The Republic of Croatia

Legal authority for radiation protection in the Republic of Croatia is the Ministry of Health (MH). According to the provisions of the Radiation Protection Act and related regulations, the MH has three institutions to perform activities related to the measurement of the ionizing radiation. The Croatian Radiation Protection Institute has been entrusted to build and manage a central national registry of radiation sources, persons working with the sources and the doses that they receive during their work. Based on the data collected, we were able to analyze the distribution of the doses received by the employees in various institutions. The degree of professional exposure in the Republic of Croatia is relatively low. Most of the workers, over 83.5 %, receive a nnual doses less than 0.1 mSv. Only 0.1 % of workers receive the dose of 10 mSv. The structure of dosimetry control and records management that has been built gives expected results. Planned changes of the regulatory structure, in accordance with BSS, under the Model Project RER/9/062 should transfer the main regulatory authority prerogatives to the CRPI and give it more power in solving the problems stated.
