B ECAUSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RADIATIONS HAVE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF BIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS ACCOUNT MUST BE TAKEN FOR RADIATION TYPE. T HE CONCEPT OF WEIGHTED DOSE SEEMS AT PRESENT THE BEST AVAILABLE. T HE PRESENT SYSTEM, RECOMMENDED BY ICRP INVOLVES A COMPLEX COMBINATION OF EFFECTIVE DOSE, THE SO CALLED „ PROTECTION QUANTITY ” WHICH IS USED IN LEGISLATION AND THE OPERATIONAL QUANTITIES WHICH INSTRUMENTS AND DOSEMETERS SHOULD REALISE.
