A. Federal Radiation Comeil (TRC) . Basic FRC numerical guidance and health protection philosophy are similar to those of the ICRP and NCRP. (RPG's) are provided which deal with population groups. Radiation Protection Guides exposures of individuals and of Actions are to be directed primarily toward control of the sources of radioactivity to restrict entry into the environment but also toward control of radioactive materials after entry into the environment in order to limit intake by humans. The RPG's 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 peacetine operations. . fat BAGUAG oy US RU . . Tuimqeuc ye Le Tuetaesui benefits fron such exposure. .

The RPG's for the population are expressed in terms of annual exposure, except for the gonads, weere the ICR? recommended value of 5 rems in 33 years is used. FNC states that the operational mechanisn described for applicaticn of criteria to limit the whole body dose for individuals to 0.5 ren per yeer and to linit exposure of a suitable sample of the population to 9.17 rem per year is likely to assure that the gonadal exposure guide will not be exceeded. The child, infant, and unborn infant are identified as being more sensitive to radiation than the adult. Exposures to be compared with the guidance are tc be derived for the most sensitive members in the population. guide for the individual applies when individual exposures are known: am tii-Ge The
