registered as a charity in the United Kingdom and has its scientific secretariat in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
It is an independent, international organization with more than two hundred volunteer members from approximately thirty countries on six continents, who represent the world's leading scientists and policy makers in the field of radiological protection.
The International System of Radiological Protection has been developed by ICRP based on the current understanding of the science of radiation exposures and effects, and value judgements. These value judgements take into account societal expectations, ethics, and experience gained in application of the system.[2]
The work of the Commission centres on the operation of four main committees:[3]
Committee 1 Radiation Effects
Committee 1 considers the effects of radiation action from the subcellular to population and ecosystem levels, including the induction of cancer, heritable and other diseases, impairment of tissue/organ function and developmental defects, and assesses implications for protection of people and the environment.
Committee 2 Doses from Radiation Exposure
Committee 2 develops dosimetric methodology for the assessment of internal and external radiation exposures, including reference biokinetic and dosimetric models and reference data and dose coefficients, for use in the protection of people and the environment.
Committee 3 Radiological Protection in Medicine
Committee 3 addresses protection of persons and unborn children when ionising radiation is used in medical diagnosis, therapy, and biomedical research, as well as protection in veterinary medicine.
Committee 4 Application of the Commission’s Recommendations
Committee 4 provides advice on the application of the Commission's recommendations for the protection of people and the environment in an integrated manner for all exposure situations.
Supporting these committees are Task Groups, established primarily to develop ICRP publications.
The ICRP's key output is the production of regular publications disseminating information and recommendations through the "Annals of the ICRP".registered as a charity in the United Kingdom and has its scientific secretariat in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
