title: The impact of radionuclides in the environment: assessment, control and perspective.
abstract: The objective of this brief paper is to highlight the way in which we assess and control the impact of environmentally dispersed radionuclides. It touches on the assessment of dispersion of radionuclides in the environment, their transfer to man, the resultant dose to man and the presumed health consequences, the control of releases based on such assessments and some perspective against which to judge the results of control policies.
