Radiation exposure causes cancer and non-cancer health effects, each of which differs
greatly in the shape of the dose–response curve, latency, persistency, recurrence, curability …

The central dose quantities used in radiological protection are absorbed dose, equivalent
dose, and effective dose. The concept of effective dose was developed by the International …

The effective dose concept was designed to compare the generic risks of exposure to
different radiation fields. More commonly these days, it is used to estimate or compare …

Effective dose was introduced by the ICRP for the single, over-arching purpose of setting
limits for radiation protection. Effective dose is a derived quantity or mathematical construct …

Over the past decades, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has
used radiation detriment, which is a multidimensional concept to quantify the overall harm to …

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to review basic radiation biology and associated
terminology to impart a better understanding of the importance of basic concepts of ionizing …

The current system of radiation protection for humans is based on the linear-no-threshold
(LNT) risk-assessment paradigm. Perceived harm to irradiated nuclear workers and the …

This study has developed a relationship that categorized radiation protection and allows for
a proper, clear, and concise review of the different classifications in terms of principles of …

These revised Recommendations for a System of Radiological Protection formally replace
the Commission's previous, 1990, Recommendations; and update, consolidate, and develop …
