ICRP Publication 132: Radiological Protection from Cosmic Radiation in Aviation.
In this publication, the International Commission on Radiological
Protection (ICRP) provides updated guidance on radiological protection from
cosmic radiation in aviation, taking into account the current ICRP system of radiological
protection, the latest available data on exposures in aviation, and experience
gained worldwide in the management of exposures in aviation. The publication
describes the origins of cosmic radiation, how it exposes passengers and aircraft
crew, the basic radiological protection principles that apply to this existing exposure
situation, and the available protective actions. For implementation of the optimisation
principle, the Commission recommends a graded approach proportionate to the
level of exposure that may be received by individuals. The objective is to keep the
exposure of the most exposed individuals to a reasonable level. The Commission also
recommends that information be disseminated to raise awareness about cosmic radiation,
and to support informed decisions among concerned stakeholders.
