My apologies!
The quote is on p. 58 of NCRP-121. But don't be surprised by the blatant
contradictions. The following page says "The concept of ALARA, viz. that all
radiation doses shall be kept as low as reasonably achievable...has been a
fundamental principle in radiation protection for several decades...The concept
of ALARA presumes that any increment of radiation dose may produce a
proportionate incremental risk...The use of collective dose to calculate risk
for purposes of optimization of protection is acceptable and
desirable..."

I could not find the quote in NCRP-136.
Do you have the right reference. Given the pro-LNT stance of NCRP, it does
not seem like something they would say.
