The System of Radiological Protection contributes to an appropriate level of protection from harmful [[Effects of Exposure]] to [[ICRPædia_Guide_to_the_Basics_of_Ionising_Radiation|Ionising Radiation]]. [[Objectives of Radiological Protection]] are defined for both people and the environment.
The System of Radiological Protection overall is described in [[ICRP Publication 103]].
'''[[#Top|Back to Top]]'''
<br>
The primary aim of [[The System of Radiological Protection]] is:
“to contribute to an appropriate level of protection for people and the environment against the detrimental effects of radiation exposure without unduly limiting the desirable human actions that may be associated with such exposure” ([[ICRP Publication 103]] paragraph 26)
*Prevent Harmful [[ Effects of Exposure | effects]] that are, in principle, preventable
*Reduce the risk of cancer and heritable [[ Effects of Exposure | effects]] to the extent reasonably achievable
*the maintenance of biological diversity
*the conservation of species
*the health and status of natural habitats, communities and ecosystems
