[ RadSafe ] Basis for radiation dose limits

[Johnston, Thomas]

Not having ICRP 60 available, I wanted to ask the group what is the
basis for the difference in limits for whole body, skin, eye, etc.

I know the fundamentals, but I am trying to explain this to a
non-technical person.

Thank you in advance for your response.
