They, therefore, recom:anced that no ong should
receive a total accumulated dose to th2 12production cells of
more than 50r prior to the age of thivty without clear cut
medical reasons and that in
any event the average exposure
of populations as a whole should not exceed 10r by the age of,
thirty,
They point out that at present about 1/3 this figure is
already being used up by medical x-ray exposures many of which
could with proper precautions be greatly reduced,
As to occupational exposures the Committee considered this
to be a limited group - no estimates were made as to its actual
or potential size,
As finalized in the report the recommendations are:
1, There should be a national system of keeping radiation
exposures on all persons as is now practiced at AEC
establishments.
2, Medical exposures to the germ cells should be reduced,
3, No more than 10r by age thirty for the population as
a whole,
4, The subject should be reviewed periodically with a
view to possible further reduction in exposure,
5. No body, hovlever, employed,
should receiverpre than
50r of exposure prior to the age of 30,
