RE: Radiation exposures during shuttle flights/MIR living

["Morgan, Ben" <ben.morgan@cplc.com>]

Mike,

I don't know about NASA, but here's the abstract for the NCRP report:

NCRP Report No. 98 develops guidance on radiation exposures occurring in
space activities utilizing the vast body of information on the space
radiation environment and the biological effects of radiation that has
developed since 1970, when the last guidelines for space exposures were
promulgated. Radiation risk estimates for carcinogenesis, genetic
effects and nonstochastic effects were utilized to develop risk
comparisons on which career exposure limits are based. An important
result of this approach is a differentiation in limits based on age and
sex. Major sections of the Report treat radiation environments in space,
radiation exposure to personnel, radiobiological features of the space
radiation environment, and radiation protection standards in space. The
Report also identifies needed research relevant to radiation exposures
in space activities.

Regards,

Ben
