The need for methods to evaluate, on a common scale, the impact of radionuclides on man and his environment has long been recognized. This report reviews a variety of special and general formulations intended to meet this need. It reveals that no single formulation exists which will be totally acceptable in its current state of development. However, particular attention is given to several formulations which exhibit a potential for wider application, especially to the impact of a geologic waste repository.
