Dose Commitment 3
Dose Commitment 3 : The total dose that would eventually result from an event (e.g. a release of radioactive material), a deliberate action or a finite portion of a practice. More specific and precise terms such as committed dose or collective dose should be used as appropriate. Individual Dose: The dose incurred by an individual. Contrasting Term: collective dose. Lifetime Dose: The total dose received by an individual during his/her lifetime. In practice, often approximated as the sum of the annual doses incurred. Because annual doses include committed doses, some parts of some of the annual doses may not actually be delivered within the lifetime of the individual, and therefore this may overestimate the true lifetime dose. For prospective assessments of lifetime dose, a lifetime is normally interpreted as 70 years. Projected Dose: The dose that would be expected to be incurred if a specified countermeasure or set of countermeasures - or, in particular, no countermeasures - were to be taken. Residual Dose: In a chronic exposure situation, the dose expected to be incurred in the future after intervention has been terminated (or a decision has been taken not to intervene)
