Abstract

EURATOM recommends through “EC Recommendation 90/ l43”, protecting the public against Rn indoor exposure by raising new buildings or solutions for renovating the old ones, so that the volume activity of Rn does not exceed a certain effective equivalent dose. In Romania there does not exist an official map of Rn and neither a database for charting. For the recovery of Romania left behind in this field we have proposed to study and to evaluate Rn risks over Romania’s territory and started using the database from pilot areas (Caras Severin and Hunedoara); elaborating a new software in order to evaluate Rn risks transfer factor to uncovered areas by measured data and in the and to elaborate a set of documents which can be the basis of a legislative decision regarding the action level.
