Quantities that ICRP has developed for radiological protection that allow quantification of the extent of exposure to ionising radiation from both whole- and partial-body external irradiation and from intakes of radionuclides.
from ICRP Publication 123, 2013
Dose quantities related to the human body used for setting exposure limits and in the context of optimisation. They have been developed by the Commission for radiological protection to allow quantification of the detriment to people from exposure of the human body to ionising radiation from both whole- and partial-body external irradiation and from intakes of radionuclides.
