[[Accelerated fractionation]]The ICRP Glossary collects ICRP’s definitive explanations of terms for current use. Some entries include historical descriptions to help readers better understand the term in a particular context.
[[Acceptance test]]It is a living document, updated regularly.
[[Access Control]]Many ICRP publications feature their own glossaries including, for example, highly specialized terms relevant to that specific publication or helpful for a reader to have close at hand, or when introducing new terms to be added to the ICRP Glossary.

__NOTOC__[[Absorption TypeFile:Glossary Header-left2.png|800px|frameless|none|link=ICRP Glossary]]
Although the ICRP Glossary is not a dictionary, terms already well covered in the Oxford English Dictionary are not included here unless further explanation is needed to understand the way in which these terms are used in [[AccountabilityICRP publications]].
