title: Occupational exposure in the academic sector of the R.O.C.
abstract: This paper deals with occupational exposure in the academic sector of the Republic of China during the past two decades. The Tsing-Hua film badges were used for personnel monitoring. The radiation sources available in the research institutes and universities are listed and illustrated. The number, sex, age and per capita dose equivalent for the radiation workers in the past 21 yr are analyzed. The radioisotope production rate and the dose equivalent received by the workers are compared, and the results indicate that radiation protection has been greatly improved during last decade.
