Abstract

A survey is given of the main activities of the Belgoprocess Company, with special emphasis on safety precautions. The routine sampling program for internal contamination consists of urinary and faecal sampling, among others. Faecal samples sometimes reveal low contamination levels. This contamination can be considered as low-level, frequent, and intermittent. No distinct correlation is found with another control technique. A survey is given about uncertainties that might hamper a representative sampling and/or a correct interpretation of the obtained data. Reference is made to the dosimetric models regarding complexity and uncertainties.
