Abstract: International community has revised the eye lens dose limit for more than 10 years, during which several countries have integrated the new eye lens dose limit into their national law. Data from abroad show that the eye lens dose of some job in nuclear facilities may be high. Some countries have put forward specific monitoring programs, but relevant domestic information is lacking. On the basis of sorting out the dose levels of eye lens among occupational populations in foreign nuclear facilities, this article reviews the monitoring objects, requirements for monitoring dose levels, and monitoring methods proposed by foreign institutions, in order to provide reference for the revision of eye lens dose limits and related work in China’s nuclear facilities.

Key words: nuclear facilities, radioactive worker, eye lens, dose monitoring
