It is determined from\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe lifetime risks of cancer for a set of organs and tissues and the risk of heritable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeffects, taking into account the severity of the consequences. This publication provides\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea historical review of detriment calculation methodology since ICRP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublication 26, with details of the procedure developed in ICRP Publication 103, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhich clarifies data sources, risk models, computational methods, and rationale for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe choice of parameter values. A selected sensitivity analysis was conducted to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eidentify the parameters and calculation conditions that can be major sources of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003evariation and uncertainty in the calculation of radiation detriment. It has demonstrated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat sex, age at exposure, dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor, dose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eassumption in the calculation of lifetime risk, and lethality fraction have a substantial\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eimpact on radiation detriment values. Although the current scheme of radiation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edetriment calculation is well established, it needs to evolve to better reflect changes in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epopulation health statistics and progress in scientific understanding of radiation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehealth effects. In this regard, some key parameters require updating, such as the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereference population data and cancer severity. There is also room for improvement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein cancer risk models based on the accumulation of recent epidemiological findings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the importance of improving the comprehensibility of the detriment concept\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand the transparency of its calculation process is emphasised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Icrp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529619009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529619003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Icrp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153736741119,"sku":"9781529619003","price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a18db242-3ed6-445d-8cc0-db6cee44559d.jpg?v=1770785486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/icrp-publication-152-icrp-9781529619003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
