(Development of recommendation for protection against radiation emitted by internally deposited radionuclides): Technical progress report, 1 March 1986 to 28 February 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7062579
This is the semiannual technical progress report for the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. This submission is the final technical report for the grant year 1 March 1986 to 28 February 1987. Council review of the draft of Scientific Committee 1 was completed during 1986 and modification on the basis of the Council members' comments was underway at the close of the year. The Report includes new recommendations for both occupational and public exposure. Important modifications of the NCRP's earlier recommendations on basic radiation protection criteria include discontinuance of the age proration formula for workers' exposures, new accumulation controls for exposure of the fetus under occupational conditions and the adoption of a negligible individual risk level. Also important is the assignment of new values to the quality factor for some radiations of high linear energy transfer. It is expected that the work on the report can be completed so that publication will be possible early in 1987.
