Abstract
This paper provides surface-clearance levels for 413 radionuclides for the normal reuse of objects leaving the controlled area of a nuclear facility. Four sets of surface-specific clearance levels are derived based on choices of dose coefficients (DCs) in probabilistic dose assessments using the SUrface DOse QUantification model (SUDOQU; van Dillen and van Dijk 2018 J. Radiol. Prot. 38 1147–203). The general dose criteria for clearance, extended with a suitable dose constraint for the concept of the representative person, are applied in the derivations. These clearance levels apply to the total of fixed and removable radioactive contamination on the surface of objects. The results are discussed in the context of conservatism of the exposure scenarios (parameters, DCs), and guidance is given on the selection and application of the values.
