Ionizing radiation represents a specific danger associated with the operation of a nuclear power plant. The fundamental objective of radiological security at CNE Cernavod\u0103 is to protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.<\/span><\/p>

In order to ensure effective control of the potential dangers associated with the operation of the plant, the CNE Cernavod\u0103 management promotes the highest standards in the health and safety policy of the personnel and the protection of the population and the environment.<\/span><\/p>

According to the ICRP classification, the occupational radiation exposure of personnel at Cernavod\u0103 NPP falls under the category of planned exposures, as the magnitude and duration of exposures can be anticipated and reasonably managed. The management of planned exposures must take into account all relevant aspects of protection, starting with appropriate design, appropriate construction, specific aspects of radiological safety during normal operation and during shutdowns, waste management, retrofitting of nuclear facilities, etc.<\/span><\/p>

The basic framework of the protection system implemented at CNE Cernavod\u0103 is the one recommended by the International Commission for Radiological Protection (ICRP) for planned exposures, being designed to prevent the occurrence of deterministic effects by keeping individual doses below the relevant thresholds and to reduce to a reasonable level the probability of occurrence of stochastic effects.<\/span><\/p>

ICRP is the recognized scientific authority in the field of radiation protection, whose recommendations are used to develop international and national regulations in this field. These recommendations are periodically reviewed and updated according to the latest knowledge of the biological effects of radiation.<\/span><\/p>

The ICRP recommendations from 1990 contained in Publication 60 were implemented in Romania through the Radiological Safety Norms established by the National Commission for the Control of Nuclear Activities. The principles established by the ICRP were revised in 2007 and are set out in Publication 103, which updates, consolidates and develops the 1990 principles for the control of exposure to sources of ionizing radiation.<\/span><\/p>

The radiation protection policy of CNE Cernavod\u0103 is based on the general principles promoted by the International Radiological Protection Commission. These principles are:<\/span><\/p>
