title: Establishing a national register of occupational doses based on the IAEA regulatory authority information system (RAIS).
abstract: IAEA Safety Standards require countries to establish and maintain registers of occupational doses. This paper demonstrates a possibility of the use of the regulatory authority information system (RAIS) for this purpose. A two-level classification scheme for work activities, based on UNSCEAR categorisation, is adopted. The implementation approach presented in this paper covers all types of occupational exposure to artificial as well as to natural sources of ionising radiation. Although the presented model is general, it can be adjusted to specific national needs by simply changing certain settings or making use of the extensive RAIS customisation capabilities.
