In the nuclear field, ionizing
radiation exposure is directly linked to workplaces. The Radiological
Protection Services are in charge in studies of the work place to adapt
individual and environmental dosimetric monitoring. This monitoring will
be carried out with monthly or quarterly "chest" dosimeters adapted to
the type of radiation: beta, X rays gamma and possibly neutron. 'Glove
box' work, for example, will require wearing a ring or wrist dosimeter.
Environmental dosimeters will also be used to measure the environmental
dose in working areas in accordance with the regulations and standards
in force. Environmental dosimeters can also be used to measure the total dose at the periphery of the facilities
