Use and misuse of the Beir Report and NCRP Report No. 43
Creators
Description
The BEIR report on the effects on populations of exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation is being used as a radiation protection guide and to establish radiation standards. This was not the intent of the document. Several statements most often used in the misinterpretation of the BEIR report are quoted and discussed. Report 43 of the NCRP substantiates the value of the BEIR report and brings to attention the necessary understanding of the warnings and restrictions of the use of the BEIR report
