Collective dose
ICRP103
• “The collective effective dose quantity is an instrument for
optimisation … predominantly in the context of occupational
exposure. Collective effective dose is not intended as a tool
for epidemiologic risk assessment, and it is inappropriate to
use it in risk projections. The aggregation of very low individual
doses over extended time periods is inappropriate, and in
particular, the calculation of the number of cancer deaths based on
collective effective doses from trivial individual doses should be
avoided.”
ICRP60
• “If a measure of the radiation exposure in a population is desired,
the collective effective dose can be calculated” (plus additional
clauses)

Effective dose – remainder
organs
ICRP 60
If any single organ of the remained has an equivalent
dose greater than any of the twelve specified organs,
then that organ and the rest of the remainder should
each receive a tissue weighting factor of 0.025
