Summary
Summary
These proceedings encompass the work of doctors, nuclear engineers and environmentalists. The discussion covers the investigation and quantification of dose response relationships from various damaging effects of low-levels ionising radiation and a unified system for expressing biological damage. It also includes the results of epidemiological studies using models and data from the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA (including database systems for assembling and validating data), the effects of background radiation (gamma ray and radon exposure), clustering studies, safety standards, radioactive waste discharge control and limitation through legislation and the monitoring of radioactivity in food.
