Abstract: The α value for radiation protection optimization is estimated with the combination of economic value of individual life and average loss of lifetime caused by radiation. Considering the current situation of china, four methods are used to estimate α base value: gross domestic product (GDP) method, governmental compensation regulations method, major accident compensation and willingness method. The α base value of China with a range of 50 000-610 000 RMB is recommended.
