   What is the ionizing radiation dose ranges chart?

   • The Ionizing Radiation Dose Ranges Chart was developed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and is used by the Office of the Associate Under Secretary for Environment, Health, Safety and Security (AU) and various other DOE organizations in presentations and radiation protection training activities.

   What is a radiation dose?

   • Some are natural and some are man-made. The amount of radiation absorbed by a person is measured in dose. A dose is the amount of radiation energy absorbed by the body. See Radiation Terms and Units for more information about radiation dose.

   How much radiation do Americans get a year?

   • On average, Americans receive a radiation dose of about 0.62 rem (620 millirem) each year. Half of this dose comes from natural background radiation. Most of this background exposure comes from radon in the air, with smaller amounts from cosmic rays and the Earth itself. (The chart to the right shows these radiation doses in perspective.)
