skos:definition "<i><b>annual dose.</b></i> The 'dose' due to 'external exposure' in a year plus the <br/>'committed' 'dose' from 'intakes' of radionuclides in that year.<br/>
The 'individual dose', unless otherwise stated.<br/>
<b>!</b> This is not, in general, the same as the 'dose' actually delivered during the year <br/>
in question, which would include 'doses' from radionuclides remaining in the <br/>body from 'intakes' in previous years, and would exclude 'doses' delivered in <br/>future years from 'intakes' of radionuclides during the year in question.<br/>
<i><b>avertable dose.</b></i> The 'dose' that could be averted if a 'countermeasure' or set <br/>of 'countermeasures' were to be applied.<br/>
<i><b>averted dose.</b></i> The 'dose' prevented by the application of a <i>countermeasure<br/></i>or set of 'countermeasures', i.e. the difference between the 'projected dose' if <br/>the 'countermeasure(s)' had not been applied and the actual 'projected dose'.<br/>
<i><b>collective dose.</b></i> The total 'radiation' 'dose' incurred by a population.<br/>
This is the sum of all of the 'individual doses' to members of the population. If <br/>the 'doses' continue for longer than a year, then the <i>annual individual doses<br/></i>must also be integrated over time. Unless otherwise specified, the time over <br/>which the 'dose' is integrated is infinite; if a finite upper limit is applied to the <br/>time integration, the 'collective dose' is described as ‘truncated’ at that time.<br/>Unless otherwise specified, the relevant 'dose' is normally the <i>effective dose<br/></i>(see 'collective effective dose' for the formal definition).<br/>Unit: man-sievert (man Sv). This is, strictly, just a 'sievert', but the unit man-<br/>sievert is used to distinguish the 'collective dose' from the 'individual dose' which <br/>a dosimeter would measure (just as, for example, ‘person-hours’ are used to <br/>measure the total effort devoted to a task, as opposed to the elapsed time that <br/>would be shown by a clock).<br/>Contrasting term: 'individual dose'.<br/>
<i><b>committed dose.</b></i> The 'lifetime dose' expected to result from an 'intake'.<br/>
This term partially supersedes 'dose commitment'.<br/>
[<i><b>dose commitment.</b></i> The total 'dose' that would eventually result from an <br/>'event' (e.g. a release of 'radioactive material'), a deliberate action or a finite <br/>portion of a 'practice'.]<br/>
More specific and precise terms such as 'committed dose' or <i>collective dose<br/></i>should be used as appropriate.<br/>
<i><b>individual dose.</b></i> The 'dose' incurred by an individual.<br/>
Contrasting term: 'collective dose'.<br/>
<i><b>lifetime dose.</b></i> The total 'dose' received by an individual during his or her <br/>lifetime.<br/>
In practice, often approximated as the sum of the 'annual doses' incurred. Since <br/>'annual doses' include 'committed doses', some parts of some of the <i>annual doses<br/></i>may not actually be delivered within the lifetime of the individual, and <br/>therefore this may overestimate the true 'lifetime dose'.<br/>For prospective 'assessments' of 'lifetime dose', a lifetime is normally interpreted <br/>as 70 years.<br/>
<i><b>projected dose.</b></i> The 'dose' that would be expected to be incurred if a <br/>specified 'countermeasure' or set of 'countermeasures' — or, in particular, no <br/>'countermeasures' — were to be taken.<br/>
<i><b>residual dose.</b></i> In a 'chronic exposure' situation, the 'dose' expected to be <br/>incurred in the future after 'intervention' has been terminated (or a <br/>decision has been taken not to intervene).<br/>" (en)
