population groups to radioactivity ‘from an unplanned release where
action is taken in the production and use of foods.
RPG, Radiation Protection Guides, express the dose that should
not be exceeded without careful consideration of the reasons for
doing so.
Every effort should be made to encourage the maintenance
of radiation doses as far below this guide as practicable.
The RPG's
are intended for use with normal peacetime operations, and there
should be no man-made radiation exposure without expectation of
benefits from such exposure.
Considering such benefits, exposure
at the level of the RPG is considered as an acceptable risk for a
lifetime.
The RPG's for the
population are expressed in terms of
annual exposure except for, gonads where
> rems in 30 years is used.
