The Total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) is a dosimetric quantity used for comparing the health effects of radiation to the human body.

TEDE is used by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is an independent agency of the United States government that was established by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 from the United States Atomic Energy Commission, and was first opened January 19, 1975...

 to define dose limits for occupationally exposed individuals and members of the general public. Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) means the sum of the effective dose equivalent (for external exposures) and the committed effective dose equivalent (for internal exposures)
