Radiation Standards Organizations
5
(NCRP)
  • National Council on Radiation Protection and
    Measurements
  • www.ncrponline.org
  • The NCRP is a national consensus standards
    organization that is comprised of the top
    scientists across the United States who meet and
    develop recommendations that should be practiced
    by those who use radiation.
  • The NCRP Web site states its objectives as the
    following
  • to collect, analyze, develop and disseminate in
    the public interest information and
    recommendations about (a) protection against
    radiation (referred to herein as radiation
    protection) and (b) radiation measurements,
    quantities and units, particularly those
    concerned with radiation protection
  • to provide a means by which organizations
    concerned with the scientific and related aspects
    of radiation protection and of radiation
    quantities, units and measurements may cooperate
    for effective utilization of their combined
    resources, and to stimulate the work of such
    organizations
  • to develop basic concepts about radiation
    quantities, units and measurements, about the
    application of these concepts, and about
    radiation protection
  • to cooperate with the International Commission on
    Radiological Protection, the Federal Radiation
    Council, the International Commission on
    Radiation Units and Measurements, and other
    national and international organizations,
    governmental and private, concerned with
    radiation quantities, units and measurements and
    with radiation protection.

    technologies. According to the objectives found
    on the IAEA Web site
  • The Agency is authorized
  • To encourage and assist research on, and
    development and practical application of, atomic
    energy for peaceful uses throughout the world
    and, if requested to do so, to act as an
    intermediary for the purposes of securing the
    performance of services or the supplying of
    materials, equipment, or facilities by one member
    of the Agency for another and to perform any
    operation or service useful in research on, or
    development or practical application of, atomic
    energy for peaceful purposes
  • To make provision, in accordance with this
    Statute, for materials, services, equipment, and
    facilities to meet the needs of research on, and
    development and practical application of, atomic
    energy for peaceful purposes, including the
    production of electric power, with due
    consideration for the needs of the
    under-developed areas of the world
  • To foster the exchange of scientific and
    technical information on peaceful uses of atomic
    energy
  • To encourage the exchange of training of
    scientists and experts in the field of peaceful
    uses of atomic energy
  • To establish and administer safeguards designed
    to ensure that special fissionable and other
    materials, services, equipment, facilities, and
    information made available by the Agency or at
    its request or under its supervision or control
    are not used in such a way as to further any
    military purpose and to apply safeguards, at the
    request of the parties, to any bilateral or
    multilateral arrangement, or at the request of a
    State, to any of that States activities in the
    field of atomic energy
  • To establish or adopt, in consultation and, where
    appropriate, in collaboration with the competent
    organs of the United Nations and with the
    specialized agencies concerned, standards of
    safety for protection of health and minimization
    of danger to life and property (including such
    standards for labor conditions), and to provide
    for the application of these standards to its own
    operation as well as to the operations making use
    of materials, services, equipment, facilities,
    and information made available by the Agency or
    at its request or under its control or
    supervision and to provide for the application
    of these standards, at the request of the
    parties, to operations under any bilateral or
    multilateral arrangements, or, at the request of
    a State, to any of that States activities in the
    field of atomic energy
  • To acquire or establish any facilities, plant and
    equipment useful in carrying out its authorized
    functions, whenever the facilities, plant, and
    equipment otherwise available to it in the area
    concerned are inadequate or available only on
    terms it deems unsatisfactory.
