Description - The worker's effective dose for Example 1

In this example, the worker's effective dose (E_T) is equal to the dose from external radiation (H_p(10)) plus the dose from internal radiation (I) plus the dose from radon (Rn_d). The dose from external radiation (H_p(10)) was recorded as 12 millisieverts. The internal dose component (I) was calculated to be 2.5 millisieverts. The radon dose component (Rn_d) was calculated to be 2 millisieverts. The sum of these three dose components, the worker's total effective dose (E_T), is 16.5 millisieverts.
