Bøger i Annals of the ICRP serien

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.

Replaces the previous ICRP Publication 54 on individual monitoring programmes and the interpretation of results of measurements for intakes of radionuclides by workers. This book uses this information and takes account of the new principles for the radiological protection of workers provided in ICRP Publication 75.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
