Invited Paper

21ST century challenges in radiation protection and shielding: draft 2005 recommendations of ICRP

Roger Clarke

Chairman, ICRP, Corner Cottage, Woolton Hill, Newbury, Berkshire, RG20 9XJ

Corresponding author: clarke.rogerh{at}btopenworld

The International Commission on Radiological Protection regularly examines the status of its recommendations and reviews the increasing knowledge of the effects of exposure to ionising radiation in order to decide whether new recommendations are needed. The Commission strives to make its system more coherent and comprehensible, while recognising the need for stability in international and national regulations, many of which have, only fairly recently, implemented the 1990 Recommendations. However, new scientific data have been produced since 1990 and there have been societal developments in that more openness or transparency is expected in developing new recommendations and, in addition, there has been a move from the utilitarian approach of ‘the greatest good for the greatest number’, to one with more concern for the ‘individual’, all of which have inevitably led to some changes in the formulation of the recommendations. This paper outlines the proposals for the 2005 Recommendations.
