Occupational Radiation Exposure Data from Tin Smelters in Indonesia

20.72 mSv was the highest annual effective dose recorded for a slag handling worker, exceeding the IAEA occupational limit. This dataset presents an integrated assessment of external and internal radiation doses for workers at two Indonesian tin smelters, evaluating raw materials and by-products. The data was authored by Ilsa Rosianna and last updated on 2026-05-04.

Use Cases

• Identify radiological hotspots in industrial settings based on slag storage activity concentration data.
• Model worker dose contributions from different exposure pathways based on integrated external and internal dose assessments.
• Compare radionuclide concentrations across process stages based on measurements from raw materials to slag.
• Support ALARA-based protection strategy development based on site-specific dose evaluations.

Strengths

• Includes integrated dose assessment from both external and internal exposure pathways.
• Reports specific activity concentration increases, such as a 79-fold rise for 232Th in slag at one site.
• Licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to two specific smelter sites in Indonesia.
