ABSTRACT
A methodology for calculating acceptable levels of contamination of radionuclides in soil for unrestricted use was described. Pathways of exposure include direct radiation from ground surfaces, ingestion of contaminated food and inhalation of resuspended radionuclides. Results calculated using site-specific data for Korean environment were discussed and compared with those estimated by other guidelines.
