[Evaluation of the somatic radiation risks and the recommendations in the IRCP publication no. 26 (1977) (author's transl)].
Scientific knowledge regarding somatic radiation risks has greatly increased in recent years as a result of a series of epidemiological studies. IRCP publication no. 26 concerns largely to a collection of data published in a report of the United Nations in 1977. For weakly ionising radiation, both publications introduce a risk factor representing the risk per rem for small doses. As a result, they introduced a reduction factor for the risks from ionising radiation at small doses. An analysis of the data of the most common radiation induced cancers has shown that their estimates are not on the side of safety. It is concluded that the doses regarded as acceptable by the IRCP are too high for persons exposed to radiation in the course of their profession.
