1 mSv (0.1 rem)/yr Special circumstances of higher value, 5 yr average 1mSv (0.1 rem) (191)

1mSv (100 mrem) to the embryo/fetus (186)

Part 20

50 mSv (5 rem)/yr ('20.1201(a)(1)(i))

1 mSv (0.1 rem)/yr Up to 5 mSv (500 mrem)/yr with prior NRC authorization ('20.1301(a)&(d))

5 mSv (0.5 rem) ('20.1208(a))

1 ICRP-2 was mentioned in the body of the Commission paper but not included in this comparison because it was fundamentally different than the other reports. The external limit for occupational workers was 5(N-18) rem, where N=the worker’s age. The internal dose was driven by the organ dose, which gave values of maximum permissible concentration based on organ dose rather than the effective dose. ICRP-2 did not contain any tissue or radiation weighting factors.

What was the first year and publication in which ICRP established the 1 mSv annual limit for members of the general public?
