Böcker i Annals of the ICRP-serien

Derives a set of derived consideration reference levels for each biotic type in order to help optimise the level of effort that might be expended on its environmental protection, or that of similar types of organisms, and thus serve as points of reference in any consideration of what authorities may wish to do under different exposure situations.

In the present report, ICRP provides information on radiation doses to the infant due to intakes of radionuclides in maternal milk. As in Publication 88 on doses to the embryo and fetus following intakes of radionuclides by the mother, intakes by female members of the public and female workers are addressed. This book deals with this report.

In 1997, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) initiated a project intended to lead up to the replacement of its 1990 Recommendations (Publication 60) with a view to producing new, consolidated Recommendations 10-15 years after those of 1990. This book deals with this topic.

Deals with a proposed framework that is designed to harmonise with the ICRP's approach to the protection of human beings, but does not intend to set regulatory standards.

Inhalation of radionuclides leads to problems of spatial distribution of radiation dose within tissues. This book focuses on various types of radionuclides that may be inhaled and deposited in the respiratory tract.

Deals with the radiological protection of members of the public, following the disposal of long-lived solid radioactive waste using the 'concentrate and retain' strategy. This title covers options, including shallow land burial and deep geological disposal. Its recommendations apply to several disposal facilities.

Provides updated guidance on radiological protection from cosmic radiation in aviation, taking into account the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) system of radiological protection, the data on exposures in aviation, and experience gained worldwide in the management of exposures in aviation.

The goal of external beam radiotherapy is to provide precise dose localisation in the treatment volume of the target with minimal damage to the surrounding normal tissues. This book tells about protection methods during this radiotherapy.

Offers guidance on radiological protection in the new technology of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This publication provides recommendations on radiation dose management directed at different stakeholders, and covers principles of radiological protection, training, and quality assurance aspects.

Provides information relating to radiation dose to patients, including biokinetic models, biokinetic data, dose coefficients for organ and tissue absorbed doses. This report includes new information for 82Rb-chloride, iodide (123I, 124I, 125I, and 131I) and 123I labelled 2ss-carbomethoxy 3ss-(4-iodophenyl)-N-(3-fluoropropyl) nortropane (FPCIT).

A report, in which the Commission provides guidance for the protection of people living in long-term contaminated areas resulting from either a nuclear accident or a radiation emergency. It considers the effects of such events on the affected population.

This part gives metabolic data for 30 further elements, including Annual Limits on Intakes (ALI's) for their isotopes. The data given in this report are intended to be used together with the text and dosimetric models described in ICRP Publication 30, Part 1.

Features papers that were presented during ICRP 2013. This book provides an overview of the work of ICRP, five topical sessions were held on high-priority issues in radiological protection.

In March 1987 the International Commission on Radiological Protection established a Task Group of Committee 2 "to evaluate dose per unit intake for members of the public". This book deals with this report.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has developed and systematically updated the system of radiological protection, which now recommends optimisation of protection measures within or guided by appropriate restrictions, such as dose constraints or reference levels, in all circumstances. This book deals with this topic.

Epidemiological studies of the association between lung cancer and exposure to radon and its decay products are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to pooled case-control studies of residential exposures and to cohorts of underground miners exposed to relatively low levels of radon.

Describes the development and intended use of the computational phantoms of the Reference Male and Reference Female. This title deals with the methods used for this process and the characteristics of the resulting computational phantoms.

In this report the Commission describes its framework for protection of the environment and how it should be applied within the Commission's system of protection.

Consolidates previous recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) related to solid waste disposal. This book explains how the ICRP system of radiological protection described in Publication 103 can be applied in the context of the geological disposal of long-lived solid radioactive waste.

Provides a review of early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and organs with respect to radiation protection.

Includes guidance on the control of exposure from radiation sources issued since 1990. This title features radiation and tissue weighting factors in the quantities equivalent and effective dose and update the radiation detriment, based on the scientific information of the biology and physics of radiation exposure.

A title, in which, the commission includes a section on the protection of the environment, and indicated that it would be further developing its approach to this subject by way of a set of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) as the basis for relating exposure to dose, and dose to radiation effects, for different types of animals and plants.

Lessons from accidental exposures are an invaluable resource for revealing vulnerable aspects of the practice of radiotherapy, and for providing guidance for the prevention of future occurrences. This report provides lessons from retrospective information in Sections 2 and 4.

Provides advice on the application of the Commission's 2007 Recommendations.

Gives fluence to dose conversion coefficients for both effective dose and organ absorbed doses for various types of external exposures, consistent with the 2007 Recommendations of the ICRP.

In this report, the Commission provides updated guidance on radiological protection against radon exposure

A report that considers the evidence relating to cancer risk associated with exposure to low doses of low linear energy transfer radiation, and particularly doses below current recommended limits for protection of radiation workers and the general public.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection issued its basic recommendations in 1977. This text contains almost all the recommendations, together with explanatory material to make clear the underlying reasoning for policy makers. The supporting annexes contain detailed scientific information on specific points for specialists.

A report that was prepared to underpin the Commission's 2007 Recommendations with regard to the medical exposure of patients, including their comforters and carers, and volunteers in biomedical research. It addresses the proper application of the fundamental principles of the Commission's 2007 Recommendations to these individuals.
