Samenvatting	Radioactive waste classification is a systematic framework for categorizing radioactive materials based on activity, heat generation, and long-term hazard potential, developed by the IAEA. It stratifies waste into classes (exempt, very low-level, low-level, intermediate-level, high-level) to determine appropriate management pathways—from near-surface disposal to deep geological repositories—ensuring environmental protection and regulatory compliance.	Dosimetry measurement is the experimental quantification of radiation dose and exposure, originating from Röntgen and Becquerel's 1890s discoveries. It employs specialized detectors (ion chambers, TLD, Geiger counters) to measure photon and particle energy deposition in biological tissue or materials, providing direct evidence of exposure for worker protection, patient dose verification, and environmental monitoring.
