The current status of the Workshop
 ICRP Main Commission are making a summary of the Workshop
 Notes from Main Commission members
 e.g. Classification of effects; Clarity and consistency; etc.
 Notes from Session Moderators
 e.g. RP of patients, especially with new radiation technologies andtechniques; Quantification of radiation risks among offspring of
exposed individuals, and integration into the RP system; etc.
 Notes from Presenters e.g. Tolerability and reasonableness have complementarities but theyshould not be confused. The existence of a band of flexibility between“acceptable” and “unacceptable” is useful; etc.
 The summary will be submitted to a Journal
