Abstract

This report is yet another valuable reference text in the series of International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) publications. The information contained in the report is mostly tabulated and drawn from a wide variety of ICRP reports (numbers 56, 67, 69 and 71), providing a compilation of age-dependent committed effective-dose coefficients for members of the general public due to inhalation or ingestion of a variety of radionuclides. The information is likely to be of direct benefit to those involved in radiation protection for the nuclear, environmental and health-care industries. It is unlikely to be of use to those interested in medical research since the chemical/pharmaceutical form is not considered in detail. It is a report for use by a specialist and not for casual reading: in short, a key text for any institution that already makes use of ICRP publications.
