The Review of the ICRP System of Radiological Protection – practical feedback from members of the Australasian Radiation Protection Society

The Australasian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS) has surveyed members for their personal and practical comments on the upcoming review of the ICRP system of radiological protection. A summary of the feedback was collated and formed the basis of ARPS contributions to the International Radiation Protection Association's (IRPA's) formal submission to the review. The comments from members ranged from detailed examples of where the current ICRP system fails to provide clear direction for applying a practical and risk-based system of management, through to broader themes that ARPS believes need significant work. As practitioners, ARPS has provided positive suggestions for changes and improvements pertinent to the future of applied radiation protection.
