Describes the development and intended use of the computational phantoms of the Reference Male and Reference Female. This title deals with the methods used for this process and the characteristics of the resulting computational phantoms.

A report, in which the Commission provides guidance for the protection of people living in long-term contaminated areas resulting from either a nuclear accident or a radiation emergency. It considers the effects of such events on the affected population.

Epidemiological studies of the association between lung cancer and exposure to radon and its decay products are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to pooled case-control studies of residential exposures and to cohorts of underground miners exposed to relatively low levels of radon.

Consolidates previous recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) related to solid waste disposal. This book explains how the ICRP system of radiological protection described in Publication 103 can be applied in the context of the geological disposal of long-lived solid radioactive waste.

A title, in which, the commission includes a section on the protection of the environment, and indicated that it would be further developing its approach to this subject by way of a set of Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) as the basis for relating exposure to dose, and dose to radiation effects, for different types of animals and plants.

Provides updated guidance on radiological protection from cosmic radiation in aviation, taking into account the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) system of radiological protection, the data on exposures in aviation, and experience gained worldwide in the management of exposures in aviation.
