The present report updates and supersedes NCRP Report No. 45 (NCRP, 1975a) and includes the absorbed doses to the population due to radiation from cosmic sources, radionuclides in the earth, internally deposited radionuclides, inhaled radioactivity and fallout from nuclear weapons tests. Notable additions to the earlier report are an emphasis on the radon contribution to population exposures and the inclusion of Canadian data. The report represents one important source of information for the overall summary effort, NCRP Report No. 93, Ionizing Radiation Exposure of the Population of the United States. 312 refs., 23 figs., 62 tabs.
