Description: "This Report extends the concepts and approaches discussed in NCRP Report No. 171 and Commentary No. 24 to further reduce uncertainty in radiation risk assessments at low doses and low dose rates, thereby enhancing the bases for radiation protection guidance"--
Notes: This Report addresses the conclusions and recommendations from three previous NCRP Reports and Commentaries on the topic of the risks of adverse health outcomes at low doses and low dose rates of ionizing radiation (NCRP, 2012; 2015; 2018a).
