ICRP Publication 91 (2003) provided the basic framework for assessing the impact of ionizing radiation on non-human species. In order to provide further guidance on the issue, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) brought out a draft document, the work of an ICRP Task Group, to address “Environmental Protection: The Concept and Use of Reference Animals and Plants”.
This draft provides the practical basis for consideration of non-human species in radiological protection. The draft report can be downloaded from the ICRP site. It is said that the ICRP would much appreciate receiving comments and suggestions regarding this draft by all concerned not later than Friday 28 March, 2008.
