The ICRP's current strapline is that of ‘ Protecting people, animals and the environment around the world from the harmful effects of radiation’. But if that is the case, what revisions to its overall framework are necessary in order fully to achieve it? This paper briefly attempts to identify and address some of these questions.

Annals of the ICRP

The International Commission on Radiological Protection was founded in 1928 to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological protection. The ICRP provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionising radiation, from artificial sources as widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and from naturally occurring sources. These reports and recommendations are published six times each year on behalf of the ICRP as the journal Annals of the ICRP. Each issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific subject area.
