A task Group was formed in November 2006 by the ICRP to develop guidance on the implementation of the new ICRP Recommendations on the principles of optimization of radiation protection in various states of emergency preparedness and response. A report was prepared on the applications of the Commission’s recommendations for the protection of populations in the emergency phase of a nuclear accident or radiological emergency.
The 63 page draft document entitled: Applications of the Commission’s Recommendations for the Protection of People in Emergency Exposure Situations in the ICRP website for public consultation. The document, which can be downloaded, discusses such issues as the setting and use of reference levels, optimization with respect to protective measures, and the interface with the rehabilitation phase following an emergency.
It is reported that ICRP would much appreciate the reader’s views on this draft report. To provide the comments, one can go the Consultation Comments page in the site. The last date for submitting the comments is Friday, August 8, 2008.
