Re: Regulatory Use of EDE vs ED





Not all government agencies in the US apply ICRP26 or 60. OSHA is still back

in ICRP 2/10.

Folks



I was under the impression that governmental agencies, in the USA, were all

still on board with the EDE (cf. ICRP Publication 26).  Now comes a posting to

the Medphys List, by someone at the FDA, which seems to imply that the FDA, at

least, is already on to the ED (cf. ICRP 60).  As you know, the organ dose

weighting factors are not identical, in the two "schemes".  The ED weighting

factor for the skin did not even exist in ICRP 26.



So, can anyone elucidate who's doing what, with this, and why?  Seems to me

that they should be on the same page, n'est-ce pas?  Or am I yet too naive?



Cheers
