The National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP) was chartered by Congress
to disseminate radiation protection guidance. It has published reports
on a variety of topics. The reports are available for review at
Health Physics.
111. Developing Radiation Emergency Plans for Academic, Medical
or Industrial Facilities (1991).
107. Implementation of the Principle of As Low As Reasonably
Achievable (ALARA) for Medical and Dental Personnel (1990).
105. Radiation Protection for Medical and Allied Health Personnel
(1989).
100. Exposure of the US Population from Diagnostic Medical
Radiation (1989).
99. Quality Assurance for Diagnostic Imaging (1988).
83. The Experimental Basis for Absorbed Dose Calculations
in Medical Use of Radionuclides (1985).
73. Protection in Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound Diagnostic
Procedures in Children (1983).
70. Nuclear Medicine—Factors Influencing the Choice
and Use of Radionuclides in Diagnosis and Therapy (1982)
65. Management of Persons Accidentally Contaminated with
Radionuclides (1980).
58. A Handbook of Radioactivity Measurement Procedures. Second
Edition (1985).
57. Instrumentation and Monitoring Methods for Radiation
Protection (1978).
54. Medical Radiation Exposure of Pregnant and Potentially
Pregnant Women (1977).
37. Precautions in the Management of Patients Who Have Received
Therapeutic Amounts of Radionuclides (1970).
30. Safe Handling of Radioactive Materials (1964).
8. Control and Removal of Radioactive Contamination in Laboratories
(1951).
The National Research Council
provides expert services to the government, the public, and the
scientific and engineering communities.
The International Commission
on Radiological Protection develops reports that provide
fundamental principles of radiological protection for use by regulatory
and advisory agencies at the national, regional, and international
levels. Because of the differing conditions that apply in various
countries, it does not provide regulatory text.
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) issues regulatory guides that describe methods of
implementing certain regulations or evaluating specific problems,
or that provide guidance.
