LIST THE ORGANIZATION STHAT DEVELOPED THE CANCER RISK ESTIMATES
- (UNSCEAR) UNITED NATIONS SCIENTIFIC COMMITTE ON THE EFFECTS OF ATOMIC RADIATION reports
- (BEIR) NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL COMMITTE ON THE BOILOGICAL EFFECTS OR IONIZING RADIATION reports
COMPARE THE RADIATION DOSES RECEIVED BY WORKERS IN THE NNPP AND COMERCIAL PLANTS
LIST THREE TYPES OF DOSE-RESPONSE CURVES
- linear, no threshold model
- hormesis
- quadratic
LIST WHICH DOSE RESPONSE CURVE IS THE BASIS FOR RADIATION PROTECTION LIMITS

linear, no threshold dose
STATE WHY THERE IS NO DOSE LIMIT FOR MEDICAL EXPOSURES

federal regulations exempt medical exposure, but equal doses of medical and occupation, radiation have equal risk....medical benefits outwheight the risks
LIST THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED WITH RADIATION PROTECTION
- (ICPR) INTERNATIONAL COMMISION ON RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION
- (ICRU) INTERNATIONAL COMMISION ON RADIOLOGICAL UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS
- (NCRPM) NATIONAL COUNSIL ON RADIATION PROTECTION MEASUREMENTS
- (NRC) NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMISSION
- AGREEMENTS STATES
- (EPA) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
- (FDA) US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION
LIST THE REFERENCES AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENTS DURING INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING ON THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO IONIZING RADIATION
- regulatory guide 8.29
- regulatory guide 8.13
- us navy radiological control manuals apendix-M effects on radiation exposure personnel
- yellow book- occupational radiation exposure from us naval nuclear plants and their support facilities
STATE THE CANCER RISK ESTIMATE FROM EXPOSURE TO IONIZING RADIATION

fatal cancer radiation from exposure to 1rem of ionizing radiation is 4x10^-4 or in another form 4x10^-4/rem
