Currently in the area of radiation protection, the principle ALARA (As Low As Reasonable Achievable) is being used. Through this principle the radiation burden of workers with ionising radiation is optimised. One of the economic tools used here is the {\clqq}cost-benefit analysis``. It is one of the first analytical methods which are recommended by the ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) for optimising costs needed to secure radiation protection. The cost benefit analysis is a good and efficient economical tool. With the help of this method it is possible to do the optimisation as well as to prove it. It takes into consideration all significant economic and social factors that are prescribed and recommended. Especially, it can prove that all expositions are kept as low as they are reasonable achievable, while considering the economic angle. Basically, it is a conception which is applicable in all areas of the public as well as private sector, in all areas of human activity. In this thesis some particular examples of using the CBA at the NPP Temelín are shown and compared with the achieved level of RP. Based on that the ALARA system at our workplace is demonstrated. The CB analysis with its extended forms helps to make principal and continuous decisions, and it is an essential factor in protection from harmful effects of ionising radiation. Its main contribution lies in the areas where it is necessary to build additional technical or building barriers. It is very important in designing and building new workplaces with ionising radiation.
