Icrp Publication 142: Radiological Protection from Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (Norm) in Industrial Processes (Annals of the Icrp)

Description

The purpose of this Publication is to provide guidance on radiological protection in industries involving NORM. These industries may give rise to multiple hazards and the radiological hazard is not necessarily dominant. The industries are diverse and may involve exposure to people and the environment where protective actions need to be considered. In some cases, there is a potential for significant routine exposure to workers and members of the public if suitable control measures are not considered.
