There are differences and inconsistencies to some degree in the radioactive contamination control level of personnel′s body surface availiable in many national standards, thus puzzling the users. Therefore, it is proposed to compare the applicable scope, conditions and differences between relevant national standards, and combine with similar clinical nuclear medicine standards of radiological protection content to presevent recommendations on the contamination control level that should be correctly applied in an event of nuclear and radiological emergency. Based on the discussion of similar standards, the contaminated personnel with α of 0.04-10 Bq/cm 2 and β of 0.4-100 Bq/cm 2 are advised to be treated in the institutions with higher than secondary medical insititution. Both α econtamination control levels less than 0.04 Bq/cm 2 and β levels less than 0.4 Bq/cm 2 could be achivable, if fully decontaminated.
