Advantages of aligning with ICRP dose limits for India's nuclear program

Abstract:
In this submission we opine on India adopting a rather stringent maximum single year dose limit, instead of harmonizing with international standards. We explore how dose limits evolved, why India has opted for a lower maximum effective dose limit of 30 mSv for a single year and argue that raising this limit to at least 50 mSv, in line with International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommendations, would not only contribute to upcoming revised ICRP publications but also support the realization of India's nuclear ambitions.
