(ALI) The annual limit on intake refers to the body intake of radionuclides by inhalation, ingestion or through the skin in one year, which would result in a committed dose equal to the relevant dose limit.

The acute dose is the amount of energy accommodated in human tissue or in biological systems.

The dose limit is the highest value of an applied or allowed radiation exposure. The radiation dose is limited in order to prevent the occurrence of radiation-induced deterministic effects or to limit the probability of radiation-related stochastic effects to an acceptable level.
