Description
The International Commission on Radiological Protection first set out general principles for planning intervention after an accident over
short times and generally near to accidents in ICRP Publication 40 (1984). This document updates and extends the earlier publication
and includes quantitative guidance on intervention levels. This guidance covers the introduction of such protective actions over very
short times, their introduction and continuation following periodic review over protracted timescales lasting perhaps years and intervention
over larger areas. All accidents are different, as are the approaches of national organizations having responsibility for response to
an accident. It is intended that these general guidelines should be translated into appropriate emergency response plans by competent
national authorities.
Audience
For regulatory and advisory agencies at regional, national and international levels; management bodies with responsibilities for radiological
protection, professional staff used as advisors; and individuals such as radiologists who have to make decisions about the use of ionizing
radiation.
