This report updates and consolidates previous recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) related to solid waste disposal (ICRP, 1985, 1997b, 1998). The recommendations given apply specifically to geological disposal of long-lived solid radioactive waste. The report explains how the ICRP system of radiological protection described in Publication 103 (ICRP, ...

INTRODUCTION Moving from an original ICRP system wherein humans constituted the focus of all radiological protection criteria, recent efforts, within the last 15-20 years, have also been placed on developing principles and methods for considering the protection of non-human species (Polikarpov, 2001; Pentreath, 2002; Higley and Alexakhin, 2004). The ICRP have recently acknowledged these develop...

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has sustained interest in radiological protection in computed tomography (CT), and ICRP Publications 87 and 102 focused on the management of patient doses in CT and multi-detector CT (MDCT) respectively. ICRP forecasted and 'sounded the alarm' on increasing patient doses in CT, and recommended actions for manufacturers and users. On...
