Abstract
Last year the ICRP proposed a new system of radiation protection designed to be
simpler, more oriented toward individual protection and reflective of important
ethical standards. This article argues that the proposal violates important norms
of scientific simplicity, is in fact less protective of individuals than the current
system and makes a number of ethical errors. After outlining 12 ethical errors,
five logical errors and two scientific problems with the new ICRP proposal, the
present authors suggest possible ways to remedy these deficiencies.
