Conference · · Proceedings of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; (United States)
OSTI ID:5854399
The committee has asked for the development of a group of position papers on the following subjects: Nuclear power production, with a section on wastes expanded from the previous reports and including occupational exposures relating to nuclear power production; Technologically enhanced sources of radiation; Nuclear explosions, including, if possible, underground explosions; Medical exposures; Prenatal radiation, including tumor induction; Dose response relationships; Cancer induction in man; Hereditary effects, including some combined effects and chromosome aberrations. From these papers the Committee will determine whether there has been sufficient work accumulated in the literature or whether it anticipates sufficient work to justify preparation of a document. Each document will have as its central task human risk estimates using animal data only to support these estimates.
