Assessment of the exposure dose during removal of TENORM sludge from crude oil storage tanks

الملخص EN

Recently, many studies have been conducted on the effect of radiation hazards in non-nuclear industries.

Petroleum industry (production and refining) is a main source of TENORM in the environment.

This paper describes a simulation that was performed using a developed model based on Mont Carol calculations in order to evaluate the occupational dose rate for workers during the activity of removal and maintenance of crude oil storage tanks in refining facility.

The information obtained is an important part of the baseline data, helping the Regulatory Body in establishing the guidelines for the protection of workers and the public from the hazardous effects of ionizing radiation in non-nuclear activities.
