What is new in the ICRP site?

The work of two sub-groups of an ICRP Task Group is nearing completion. The reports of the Task Group will address:

1. Nuclear decay data for dosimetric calculations; and
2. Reference computational phantoms of the adult male and female (a joint ICRP/ICRU Report).

These two drafts, which are interrelated in the sense that they both provide data for dosimetric calculations, are primarily collections of tabulated information, in the first report to describe radionuclide transformations as an extension of ICRP Publication 38, and in the second report to describe the characteristics of the voxel-based reference phantoms referred to in ICRP Publication 103.
