1. Chapter 2
The sentences in L.595-599 explain the limitation of a conversion coefficient of 0.7 (Sv/Bq) to estimate effective dose for public. It is better to add some explanations about the limitation for usage of this value.
/ UNSCEAR has adopted this value since UNSCEAR report 1982. At that time, the “effective dose equivalent” (not effective dose) was given to estimate exposure dose.
/ The limitation can be also assumed from some previous publications (e.g., Peteoussi (1991) in L.2424-2425 and Saito (1990) in L.2428-2431; these two publications are referred in UNSCEAR report 1993).
2. Chapter 8
1) This publication is to be useful to establish an emergency planning for a radiological accident or an emergency response.
I recommend to list the effective dose rate coefficients for some radionuclides in the main text. Here, the candidate nuclides are Cs-137, Cs-134, Te-129m and Ag-110 for soil contamination, because these nuclides are detected a few months after the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ich Nuclear Power Plant. Please see the references in L.2391-2393 (Mikami, 2015) and in L.2444-2447 (Saito, 2015).
2) The data in this publication are also useful to assess radiation dose due to from terrestrial gamma rays from radionuclides in nature.
So, I also recommend to list the effective dose rate coefficients for K-40 and Tl-208 in the main text
