The removal or reduction of contamination by a physical or chemical means .<br />
Disposal<br />
The emplacement of a waste in a repository without the intention of retrieval or the<br />
approved direct discharge of waste into the environment with subsequent dispersion.<br />
Dose<br />
A measure of the radiation absorbed by a target. The quantities termed absorbed dose,<br />
organ dose, equivalent dose, effective dose, committed equivalent dose or committed<br />
effective dose are used, depending on the context. The modifying terms are used when<br />
they are not necessary <strong>for</strong> defining the quantity of interest.<br />
Dosimeter<br />
A device, instrument or system, which can be used to measure or evaluate any quantity<br />
that can be related to the determination of either absorbed dose or equivalent dose.<br />
Dosimetry<br />
Measurements and/or calculations per<strong>for</strong>med in connection with the determination of<br />
radiation dose and/or dose distributions in the irradiated volume.<br />
Employer<br />
Any person with recognised responsibility, commitment and duties towards a worker<br />
in his or her employment by virtue of a mutually agreed relationship. (A self-employed<br />
person is regarded as being both a worker and employer).<br />
Enclosed Installation<br />
In case of industrial radiography any installation in which radiography operations are<br />
carried out in an enclosure which has walls providing adequate radiation protection to<br />
persons working outside the enclosure, and which prevents unauthorised entry of<br />
persons into the enclosure during radiography operations. Such installations may include<br />
open top installations also.<br />
Ethical Review Committee<br />
A committee of independent, qualified persons to advise on the conditions of exposure<br />
and the dose constraints to be observed <strong>for</strong> individuals exposed <strong>for</strong> biomedical research<br />
when there is no direct benefit to the exposed individual.<br />
