tailieunhanh - EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ON AQUATIC ORGANISMS

The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) was requested by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to review the literature on the effects of radiation on aquatic organisms and develop a document that reviews the present understanding of such effects and provides guidance for a standard for the protection of populations of aquatic organisms. This request derives from concerns expressed to DOE that deleterious effects may be occurring in freshwaters at DOE operating facilities and that the Department has not adopted a standard for protecting aquatic organisms residing in those environments | NCRP REPORT No. 109 EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ON AQUATIC ORGANISMS Recommendations of the NATIONAL COUNCIL ON RADIATION PROTECTION AND MEASUREMENTS Issued August 30 1991 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements 7910 WOODMONT AVENUE Bethesda MD 20814 LEGAL NOTICE This report was prepared by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements NCRP .
