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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
