Description ICRP Publication 82 addresses the general application of the ICRP System of Protection to the control of prolonged exposures resulting
from practices and to the undertaking of interventions in prolonged exposure situations. It also recommends generic reference levels
for such interventions. The report considers some issues that have been of concern, including natural radiation sources that may cause
high doses; restoration and rehabilitation of sites where radioactive substances have been handled or used; the return to 'normality'
following an accident that has released radioactive substances; and the global marketing of commodities for public consumption that contain
radioactive substances. Annexes provide some examples of prolonged exposure situations and describe the radiological protection quantities,
radiation-induced health effects, and aspects of the ICRP System of Protection relevant to prolonged exposure.

System of Radiological Protection to Intervention in Prolonged Exposure Situations.
3.1. Justifying intervention in
prolonged exposure situations. 3.2. Optimising protective actions in prolonged exposure situations. 3.3. Specific reference levels for
interventions in prolonged exposure situations.
4. Generic Reference Levels of Existing Annual Dose for Intervention in
Prolonged Exposure Situations.
. 4.1. Recommended generic reference levels for intervention. 4.2. Perspectives on the
recommended generic levels for intervention.
5. Application of the Recommendations to Specific Prolonged Exposure Situations. BR> 5.1. Consideration of high levels of prolonged exposure to natural background radiation. 5.2. Long-lived radioactive residues in
human habitats. 5.3. Discontinuation of intervention after an accident. 5.4. Radioactive substances in commodities.
