SC 6-9: U.S. Radiation Workers and Nuclear Weapons Test Participants Radiation Dose Assessment
Description NCRP is coordinating an expansive epidemiologic effort entitled the One Million U.S. Persons Study of Low Dose Radiation Health Effects (Million Person Study) (MPS). The primary aim of the MPS is to provide scientifically valid information and improve precision on the level of radiation risk when exposures are received gradually over time, and not […]
SC 1-20: Biological Effectiveness of Low Linear-Energy Transfer Radiation as a Function of Energy
Members only Description The dependence of biological effectiveness on energy is an unresolved question in evaluating the risk of human cancer from exposure to low linear-energy transfer (LET) radiation (i.e., photons and electrons). This dependence is relevant for estimating the level of cancer risk from exposure to low-LET radiation at lower energies in mammography, other […]
CC 1: Radiation Protection Guidance for the United States
Description The previous set of basic radiation protection recommendations produced by NCRP was Report No. 116, Radiation Protection Guidance for the United States (1993). Since 1993, substantial advances in radiation effects knowledge, as well as radiation protection understanding and culture, have occurred. New knowledge has been obtained on radiation effects at doses lower than apparent […]
