The ALARA concept adopts an extremely conservative model concerning the relationship between

ionizing radiation and potential risk

The essential concept underlying radiation protection is that

any organ in the human body is vulnerable to damage from exposure to ionizing radiation.

Revised concepts of the risks of radiation exposure have brought about changes in NCRP recommendations for limits on exposure to ionizing radiation over a number of decades.

create more rigorous radiation protection standards.

The primary function of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to

oversee the nuclear energy industry.

If a certain dose of radiation produces a skin burn, a higher dose of radiation will cause the skin burn to be more severe; however, a dose below the threshold level for skin burn will

will not demonstrate the effect

The effective dose (EfD) limiting system is

the current method for controlling the risk of biologic damage to radiation workers and the general public from radiation exposure.
