title: A proposed biophysical framework for radiation protection calculations using summation of iso-risk contributions of different radiations.
abstract: A biophysical framework for administrative radiation protection calculation using summation of iso-risk contribution of different radiation components is presented. It addresses some of the concerns with the present system but would preserve the present linear mathematical framework and hence the massive literature of numerical calculations in radiation protection.
