Abstract:

A brief summary of the principles of the treatment and expression of uncertainty is given. The evaluation of uncertainty in several key areas of radiological measurement is illustrated by examples showing the application of those principles to photon dosimetry, neutron area survey monitoring and radioactive surface contamination monitoring.
