Critiques Of The Current Radiation Protection System: Short Review of Research Fields Recommended By ICRP
Abstract
The cancer risk caused by low-level radiation is one of the most frequently encountered questions by medical physicists. When all the factors affecting cancer formation are considered, it is quite difficult to calculate the effect of radiation alone. In addition, there is no theory explaining the effects of radiation on health. Due to the need for a philosophy of radiation protection, the Linear Non-threshold Theory was put forward. In this review paper, I will mention the debates about the validity of LNT theory and try to summarize the new suggestions and research studies regarding to some of the concepts mentioned in the above paragraph.
