What Does CEDE Stand For?

CEDE stands for Committed Effective Dose Equivalent

CEDE, or Committed Effective Dose Equivalent, is a measure used in radiation protection to quantify the long-term health risk from exposure to radioactive materials. It reflects the radiation dose received over an extended period, accounting for the biological effectiveness of different types of radiation and the specific sensitivities of various tissues and organs. By integrating these factors, CEDE provides a comprehensive assessment of potential health impacts, facilitating informed decision-making in both occupational and environmental safety contexts.
