Stakeholder A stakeholder is anybody with 

an interest (a ‘stake’) in a problem and its 

solution. The involvement of stakeholders 

(i.e., parties who have interests in and 

concern about a situation) is seen as an 

important input to the optimization 

process. It is a proven means to achieve 

incorporation of values into the decisionmaking process, improvement of the 

substantive quality of decisions, resolution 

of conflicts among competing interests, 

building of shared understanding with 

both workers and the public, and building 

of trust in institutions. Furthermore, 

involving all concerned parties reinforces 

the safety culture, and introduces the 

necessary flexibility in the management of 

the radiological risk that is necessary to 

achieve more effective and sustainable 

decisions. 

Sv Sievert; the SI unit of radiation dose 

equivalent. 1 Sv = 100 rem. 

TEDE Total effective dose equivalent—The 

sum of the effective dose equivalent from
