ICRP CD-ROM1, Version 3.0, Elsevier, ICRP (1998-2011).
In 1987, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) established a Task Group of Committee 2 on Age-dependent Dosimetry. The Task Group was given the responsibility for developing age-specific dosimetric and biokinetic models for selected elements and radionuclides. The Task Group, now renamed the Task Group on Internal Dosimetry, together with the Task Group on Dose Calculations, has prepared a series of publications giving dose coefficients (committed equivalent doses and committed effective doses per unit intake, Sv/Bq) for intakes of radionuclides by members of the public and workers.
ICRP Publications 56, 67, 69, and 71 gave age-specific biokinetic models for members of the public for intakes by ingestion and inhalation of 31 elements. For these elements, dose coefficients were calculated for the most radiologically significant natural or artificial radioisotopes that might be released into the environment due to various human activities. In Publication 72, a compilation of age-dependent committed effective doses for members of the public for intakes by ingestion and inhalation was given for the radionuclides covered in Publications 56, 67, 69, and 71.
Committed effective doses for the inhalation or ingestion of radionuclides by workers who are occupationally exposed have been given in Publication 68 based on the most recent dosimetric and biokinetic models for adults.
A CD-ROM1 contains a database of dose coefficients for both workers and members of the public. That database is an extension of ICRP Publications 68 and 72, developed by Task Group on Dose Calculations on Committee 2 of the ICRP. CD-ROM1 contains biokinetic models for all elements and dose conversion factors of committed effective and committed equivalent organ dose of over 800 radionuclides for inhalation and ingestion by members of the public and workers. The current version 3.0 of the database is harmonized with the ICRP Publication 119.
