Effective doses and risks from medical diagnostic x-ray examinations for male and female patients from childhood to old age
TL;DR: In this paper , the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) defines effective dose in relation to a nominal value of stochastic detriment following low-level exposure of 5.7 × 10−2 Sv−1, as an average over both sexes, all ages, and two fixed composite populations (Asian and Euro-American).
Journal ArticleDOI
Invited editorial: Gut transfer and doses from environmental technetium.
John Harrison,A. W. Phipps +1 more
TL;DR: This issue reports studies in which volunteers consumed lobster from the coastal area of west Cumbria and measurements were made of the absorption of technetium-99 and presents two estimates of absorption of 99Tc from lobster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in dose per unit intake to adults, children and infants from ingestion of 239Pu
TL;DR: It is concluded that the 95% confidence interval spans an order of magnitude with the most probable value of dose about a factor two below the upper 95th percentile.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mandate and work of ICRP Committee 2 on doses from radiation exposure.
John Harrison,John Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: The remit of ICRP Committee 2 has now been widened to include all data requirements for the assessment of doses to humans and non-human biota, including dose coefficients for intakes of radon isotopes calculated using dosimetric models.

TL;DR: It is important to know whether low doses or dose rates of radiation are associated with increased morbidity and premature mortality and, if so, by what mechanism, and to assess low-dose biological mechanisms.
