The 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection
Abstract–These revised Recommendations for a System of Radiological Protection formally replace the Commission’s previous, 1990, Recommendations; and update, consolidate, and develop the additional guidance on the control of exposure from radiation sources issued since 1990. Thus, the present Recommendations update the radiation and tissue weighting factors […]
Comparison of Greenhouse-gas Emissions and Abatement Cost of Nuclear and Alternative energy Options from a Life-Cycle Perspective (updated)
1 Introduction The political, societal, and scientific debate on nuclear energy has a long history: Starting in the early 1970ies with concerns about low-level radiation, nuclear accidents, and final disposal of spent fuel, the late 1970ies focused on limited energy resources for which nuclear promised relieve in applying reprocessing with breeder cycles. In […]

What is less well known is what they do with some of their wastes produced during uranium enrichment and pluto […]
Ethical, logical and scientific problems with the new ICRP proposals
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 numbe […]
A report on progress towards new recommendations: A communication from the International Commission on Radiological Protection
Throughout the hundred-year history of the uses of ionising radiation in medicine and industry there has been advice on the need to protect people from the hazards associated with exposure. Protection standards have evolved throughout this period to reflect both the scientific understanding of the biological effects of exposure and the social and ethical sta […]
