Evolution of radiation protection standards: synthesis of discussions at the International Radiation Protection Association Forum at Hiroshima

  • 1. International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), Brighton (United Kingdom)

Description

One of the areas in which IRPA should be active is the establishment and review of radiological protection standards. Following the proposals from Professor Roger Clarke for major revisions to the ICRP system for radiological protection under the generic concept of 'Controllable dose', IRPA initiated a consultation exercise among its Member Societies. This culminated in a debate at the IRPA-10 Congress in Hiroshima in May 2000. The results of this debate are described in this paper. (author)
