Abstract
Radiation protection in Sweden has a long tradition. One of the pioneers in radiation protection was Professor Rolf Sievert from Sweden. He was very active in international co-operation and was one of the initiators of international radiation protection standards as expressed by the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP), which was established in the late 1920s. The first radiation protection law in Sweden was enacted in the early 1940s, and since then there has been a smooth adjustment to ICRP recommendations. As a member of the European Union, Sweden is now required to apply its Basic Safety Standards (BSS). This is not a problem, because the BSS are very similar to the ICRP recommendations, which have been used in Sweden for many years.
