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.

Includes the main text for the whole series of Publication 30, and data on twenty one elements having radioisotopes that are of considerable importance in radiological protection.

Provides the technical basis for SAFs relevant to internalised radionuclide activity in the organs of the reference adult male and reference adult female. This title outlines the computational methodology and nomenclature for assessment of internal dose in a manner consistent with that used for nuclear medicine applications.

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.

Provides a set of data linking the operational quantities defined by ICRU with the dosimetric and protection quantities defined by ICRP. This report presents a basis for designing measurement programmes. It is useful to operational health physicists, medical physicists and those involved in the calibration of instruments and personal dosimetry.

Provides a review of stem cells/progenitor cells and their responses to ionising radiation in relation to issues relevant to stochastic effects of radiation which form a major part of the ICRP system of radiological protection. This volume offers information on stem cell characteristics, maintenance and renewal.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Focuses on age dependent dose coefficients to members of the public follows ICRP Publications 56 and 67. This book gives parameters for the tissue distribution and retention of these elements together with data on urinary and faecal excretion.

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.

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.

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.

Describes the terms and methods used to assess the radiation exposure of astronauts, and provides data for the assessment of organ doses.

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.

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.

Describes a revision of the model used in ICRP Publication 30 to calculate radiation doses to the respiratory tract of workers resulting from the intake of airborne radionuclides.

Before 1990, dose-equivalent quantities were defined in terms of a quality factor, Q(L), that was applied to the absorbed dose at a point in order to take into account the differences in the effects of different types of radiation. In its 1990 recommendations, the ICRP introduced a modified concept. This book deals with this topic.

In its 1990 recommendations, the ICRP considered the radiation risks after exposure during prenatal development. This book presents a critical review of experimental animal data on biological effects and evaluations of human studies after prenatal radiation published since the 1990 recommendations.
