<center>[[ICRP Publication 103]] The 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection</center>]]
'''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.'''
Protection is based on three [[Fundamental Principles of Radiological Protection]] related to:
* doing more good than harm (the justification principle),
* keeping doses as low as reasonably achievable (the optimisation principle), and
* ensuring no person receives an unacceptably high dose (the limitation principle).
These principles are universal, but various [[Exposure Categories and Situations]] are defined to help apply them most effectively in different circumstances.
