What is the recommended annual dose limit for occupational ionizing radiation exposure, according to ICRP 1991 recommendations?

  1. 50 mSv

  2. 20 mSv

  3. 5 mSv

  4. 100 mSv

The correct answer is: 20 mSv

The recommended annual dose limit for occupational ionizing radiation exposure, according to ICRP 1991 recommendations, is 20 mSv. This is the recommended limit for exposure to the whole body, averaged over a period of 5 years. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they either exceed or fall below the recommended limit. Option A (50 mSv) is the current annual dose limit set by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) for radiation workers in most countries. Option C (5 mSv) is the recommended limit for the general public and not occupational workers. Option D (100 mSv) is the previous recommended limit for occupational exposure but has since been revised to 20 mSv in 1991. It is important to follow the recommended annual dose limit to minimize the potential health risks associated with occupational ionizing radiation exposure
