Sub-Group on Habit Data and Critical Groups

Terms of reference

The aim of this sub-group is to consider the use of habits data in assessing individual doses and in defining critical groups. The initial emphasis will be on retrospective assessments (doses from discharges and direct shine) but prospective assessments should be considered at a later date. In particular it will consider:

  • Methods for obtaining integrated habits data around particular sites.
  • What is meant by 'locally produced food' - how plausible is it for certain foods to be produced and consumed by individuals.
  • Assumptions regarding where people are assumed to live and to obtain their food in dose assessments together with the combination of pathways.
  • Data analysis including the relationship between the sample population and assessment of nidividual doses including the use of critical groups.
  • The adequacy of data on occupancy, e.g. general beach occupancy and time spent indoors and outdoors.
  • The use of national survey data and site specific data, including how regularly site specific data should be reviewed and updated.
  • Use of habits survey and dosimetric data for infant, child and adult.
