Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: The theme of the nineteenth annual meeting of the National Council on Radiation Protection was Environmental Radioactivity. Papers were presented on the role of the environment and of natural and man-made sources within it, assessments of radioactivity at test sites in the Marshall Islands and at Three Mile Island, environmental modeling, long-lived radionuclide problems, waste disposal and criteria for dose limits. Reports were presented from active scientific committees of the NCRP including those on 1) Medical Electron Accelerators, Priorities for Dose Reduction. Energy Data Base. Neutron Contamination from 2) Thyroid Cancer Risk, and 3) Seventeen papers were entered into the Major Descriptors: *RADIATION PROTECTION -- MEETINGS; *RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT -- MEETINGS Descriptors: ACCELERATORS; DOSE EQUIVALENTS; DOSE LIMITS; FUEL CYCLE; HUMAN POPULATIONS; ICRP; LEADING ABSTRACT; NEOPLASMS; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS; RADIATION DOSES; RADIATION HAZARDS; RADIOACTIVE WASTES; RADIOTHERAPY; RISK ASSESSMENT; THYROID; US NCRP; US NRC; X RADIATION Broader Terms: ABSTRACTS; BODY; DISEASES; DOCUMENT TYPES; DOSES; ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION; ENDOCRINE GLANDS; EXPLOSIONS; GLANDS; HAZARDS; HEALTH HAZARDS; INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS; IONIZING RADIATIONS; MANAGEMENT; MATERIALS; MEDICINE; NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS; NUCLEAR FACILITIES; NUCLEAR MEDICINE; ORGANS; POPULATIONS; POWER PLANTS ; RADIATIONS; RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS; RADIOLOGY; SAFETY STANDARDS; STANDARDS; THERAPY; THERMAL POWER PLANTS; US ORGANIZATIONS; WASTE MANAGEMENT; WASTES Subject Categories: 655001* -- Medical Physics -- Radiation Protection Standards 055000 ~-- Nuclear Fuels -- Safeguards, Inspection, & Accountability 052002 -- Nuclear Fuels -- Waste Disposal & Storage 053000 -- Nuclear Fuels -- Environmental Aspects 054000 -- Nuclear Fuels -- Health & Safety 500300 -- Environment, Atmospheric -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport 510300 & -- (1989) -- Environment, Transport -- (-1989) Terrestrial -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring 520300 -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- (1989) 290600 -~- Energy Planning & Policy -- Nuclear Energy 510302 -- Environment, Terrestrial -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -~ Terrestrial Ecosystems & Food Chains -- (-1987) 560151 -- Radiation Effects on Animals -- Man oi ce3 eee om cS urd
