STEM CELL RADIOBIOLOGY: FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE FOR RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION

摘要

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)'s system of radiological protection is built on three pillars: scientific evidence, ethical values, and experience. The present publication is the most recent to examine aspects of the scientific evidence base. Other recent examples have included Publications 115 and 118 (ICRP, 2010, 2012). It is imperative that ICRP continues to examine the latest developments in the science fundamental to the system of radiological protection in order to assess whether changes may be necessary in the light of deeper understanding. One of the five standing committees of ICRP, Committee 1 on Radiation Effects, is dedicated to this task, and this is also an important element of several of the other committees, most notably Committee 2 on Doses from Radiation Exposure, and Committee 5 on Protection of the Environment.
