Re: New recommendations of icrp

I have the Clarke's presentation in ppt on this issue, available to those interested Changing Philosophy in ICRP - (from the past to the future): A look at the future, next phase. Useful to those that have to give classes on the subject

There are a number of published papers discussing in outline form the shape, or aspects of new recommendations. The Commission has a more detailed outline which is scheduled for publication in the Journal of Radiological Protection in June 2003. The title and abstract follows:

THE EVOLUTION OF THE SYSTEM OF RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION:

THE JUSTIFICATION FOR NEW ICRP RECOMMENDATIONS

The International Commission on Radiological Protection

ABSTRACT

ICRP has been encouraging discussion, during the past few years, on the best way of expressing radiological protection philosophy in its next Recommendations, which it plans to publish in 2005. The present recommendations were initiated by Publication 60 in 1990 and have been complemented by additional publications over the last twelve years. It is now clear that there is a need for the Commission to summarise the totality of the number of numerical values that it has recommended in some ten reports. This has been done in this paper and from these, a way forward is indicated to produce a simplified and more coherent statement of protection philosophy for the start of the 21^st century. A radical revision is not envisaged, rather a coherent statement of current policy and a simplification in its application.

Subject: New recommendations of icrp

Hi

   I'm looking for a draft document on the new recommendation of the ICRP. Do you know if such a document was published? and where can I find it? The document is not on ICRP web site. What I found is a paper " A report on progress towards new recommendation: A communication from ICRP" published in the Journal of Ratiological Protection . 21 (2001) pp 113-123.

                                                                    Thank You

                                                                    Rafi Srebro
