What is the NCRP recommended occupational dose limit for students?

5 mSv
1 mSv
10 mSv
2 mSv

The correct answer is: 1 mSv

The NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements) recommends an occupational dose limit of 1 mSv (millisievert) for students under training in radiation-related fields. This limit is established to ensure the safety and health of students who may be exposed to ionizing radiation as part of their educational curriculum. This dose limit is significantly lower than the recommendations for fully qualified professionals, emphasizing the importance of protecting young, less-experienced individuals who are still learning about radiation safety and its effects. By restricting their exposure to 1 mSv, the focus is on minimizing potential risks while still allowing students to gain the necessary hands-on experience in a controlled and safe manner. In contrast, other options suggest higher limits that are typically assigned to adults already qualified in their professions, which may not be appropriate for students who are still in training.
