[Medical surveillance of nuclear industry workers].
With a view to providing help for occupational doctors supervising nuclear plant workers, this article explains what "recommendations" means for the law make. It is the advice and counselling provided to doctors in order to heighten their awareness of specific problems; it does not mean instructions or stipulations to be scrupulously executed. A team of EDF (National French Electricity Board) doctors proposes an interpretation of these recommendations showing that they can help doctors evaluate the ability of workers according to their age, their antecedents, and the job's requirements. Thus, doctors are given greater freedom in the selection, frequency and interpretation of complementary examinations. Finally, the article develops the administrative aspect (filing, dosimetry) of worker supervision, and its connection with medical supervision.
