Annals of the ICRP - International Commission on ...

1 Annals of the ICRPP ublished on behalf of the International Commissionon radiological ProtectionAims and ScopeThe International Commission on radiological Protection ( icrp ) is the primary body in protection against ionisingradiation. icrp is a registered charity and is thus an independent non-governmental organisation created by the1928 International Congress of Radiology to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological icrp provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionisingradiation, from artificial sources widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and fromnaturally occurring sources.

2 These reports and recommendations are published approximately four times each yearon behalf of the icrp as the journalAnnals of the issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific to the journal receive each new report as soon as it appears so that they are kept up to date on the latestdevelopments in this important field. While many subscribers prefer to acquire a complete set of icrp reports andrecommendations, single issues of the journal are also available separately for those individuals and organizationsneeding a single report covering their own field of interest.

The Main Commission consists of a Chair and twelve other members. Committeestypically comprise 10 15 uses Working Parties to develop ideas and Task Groups to prepare its reports. A Task Group is usuallychaired by an icrp Committee member and usually contains a number of specialists from outside icrp .

4 Thus, icrp is an independent International network of specialists in various fields of radiological protection. At any onetime, about two hundred eminent scientists and policy makers are actively involved in the work of icrp . The TaskGroups are assigned the responsibility for drafting documents on various subjects, which are reviewed and finallyapproved by the Main Commission . These documents are then published as theAnnals of the Commission on radiological ProtectionScientific Clement, icrp , Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; C.

Central to the application of the system is the use of theprotection quantities equivalent dose and effective dose.
