The Commission reviewed the work of its committees and task groups, and approved for future publication a report on the quantitative basis for developing a unified index of harm.The Commission identified four topics requiring comment.In the recommendation on effective dose-equivalent limits* for members of the public, made in its Publication 26 (ICRP, 1977), two values were mentioned. The use of the limit of 5 mSv in a year was endorsed, but only under the conditions described in paragraphs 120 to 128 of ICRP Publication 26. For other circumstances the Commission recommended that it would be prudent to limit exposures on the basis of a lifetime average annual dose of 1 mSv.
