English Abstract In the framework of the project STRAVE (radiation
levels and exposures in the Netherlands) the exposure of the population in
the Netherlands to the various sources of ionizing radiation was examined.
In this final report an overall picture of these exposure levels in the year
1988 is given. Using a consistent methodology detailed information of these
sources is given on number of sources, critical pathways and groups of
exposed persons, radiation doses, dose distributions, time dependent
tendencies and a comparison with doses in other countries. Furthermore, for
each source an indication of individual risk is given, using a uniform risk
factor of 0.025 Sv-1. The proposed policy regarding these risks is also
given.
