Harmonizing controls for chemicals and radionuclides.
Risk harmonization means more than harmonizing the way that the risk from ionizing radiation is managed by regulatory agencies. It also means bringing a common language and approach to the management of all environmental carcinogens. If this goal is accomplished, it can result in better communication between radiation and chemical risk managers and a better informed public. If the public understands that there is consistency and coherence in how risks are managed, they are more likely to accept risk management decisions.
