GENZTIC EFFECTS
evidence, experience, data
H.
The nature of genetic effects:
J.
Relationship between radiation and change in mutation rate
K.
1.
Natural mutation rate (2%)
2.
Dose necessary to double mutation rate (50 r)
3.
Apparent linear non-threshhold relationship between dose
and effects
4.
Cumulative character of genetic effects
5.
Mechanics of introducing and eliminating mutants in genetic
pool
Predicted increase in mutation rate as a result of postulated
increase in radiation levels from fallout
1.
Effects on population, as individuals and as a whole
METHODS AND STANDARDS OF RADIATION PROTECTION AS APPLIED TO FALLOUT
PROBLEMS
L.
Standards for external~radiation effects:
the concepts and
definitions relating the amount of damage to the amount and kind
of radiation causing the damage
1.
Definitions and concepts behind the units used for dose
rate, cumulative dosage, biological effectiveness, etc.:
the r, rad, rem, RBE; ionizing density; linear energy
transfer
2.
Kinds of radiation and varying conditions of exposure
3.
Simplifying assumptions to get practical standards
4.
5.
Calculation of dose and dose rate resulting from several
kinds of radiation acting together
Caleulation of dose and dose rate resulting from one or
several kinds of radiation acting on different parts of
the body
M. Standards for internal-radiation effects
1.
JCAE
.
Definitions and concepts behind the measurement of
internal body burdens and dosages; the models used
a,
Maximum permissible concentration
b.
Safety factors
