OSTI ID:6586413

The EPA Science Advisory Board's (SAB) Radiation Advisory Committee endorses the range of risk estimates proposed by EPA's Office of Radiation Programs in Radon Risk Estimates. The Committee recommends EPA not attempt to develop still another model for radon and radon-daughter risk estimation and projection, but urges the use of existing technical consensus reports. Three important technical consensus reports on radon risks are of potential use to EPA. None of these reports is clearly pre-eminent; each has its strengths and weaknesses which reflect the uncertain state of knowledge in particular areas. Two of these reports appear to have greater utility for EPA.
