A dataset from a study assessing annual effective radiation doses to workers at two tin smelters in Indonesia. The research integrated external and internal exposure pathways, measuring radionuclides from the 238U and 232Th decay series. The dataset was authored by Ilsa Rosianna and last updated on 2026-05 04.
Use Cases
- Identifying radiological hotspots in industrial settings based on slag handling dose measurements.
- Comparing external versus internal radiation exposure pathways based on thoron and radon progeny concentration data.
- Analyzing the concentration of radionuclides like 226Ra and 232Th across raw materials and by-products.
- Supporting ALARA-based protection strategies based on integrated dose assessments at specific smelter sites.
Strengths
- Includes specific dose measurements, with a reported total annual effective dose of 20.72 mSv for slag handling.
- Reports concrete activity concentration increases, such as a 79-fold increase for 232Th from raw materials to slag at one site.

Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is very small at 9.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
