I have found "operational intervention level" for Richtwert in a nuclear science context. But combining it with "dose" sounds rather strange. Any ideas? Thanks

standard dose limit
When one works in a nuclear power plant, for instance, one wears a dosimeter, which measures the amount of radiation one is subject to during the course of a day. The standard does limit for one day used to be 50 mr. Once your dosimeter showed that amount, one had to leave the area where radiation was present, but one could return the next day, etc. I can/t remember for sure, but I believe the standard annual dose limit was 1 R and the maximum lifetime does limit was 5 R.
I operated a nuclear power plant from 1960 to 1965 so limits may have changed. I know that I have.

dose / dosage reference value
Would be my guess...

intervention level dose
If one wants to use "dose" then intervention level dose/dosage could possibly be used. What is meant with "operational intervention level" is most probably if the radioactive material dose emmited during operational state is past a preset safe value and then requires intervention.

guideline (annual) dose
If this applies to employees in the nuclear industry, more context would be very useful.
