The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) sets global radiation safety standards. This paper examines ICRP

Area of Science:

  • Radiological Protection
  • Radiation Safety Standards
  • International Health Regulations

Background:

  • The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is the sole entity establishing international standards for ionizing radiation exposure.
  • Effective radiation protection protocols are crucial for public health and safety worldwide.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).
  • To identify existing shortcomings in the ICRP's standards and operational procedures.
  • To propose necessary changes for improving the ICRP's effectiveness in radiation protection.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of ICRP's historical performance and current standards.
  • Review of documented limitations and challenges faced by the ICRP.
