International Commission on Radiological Protection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an advisory body providing recommendations and guidance on radiation protection; It was founded in 1928 by the International Society of Radiology (ISR) and was then called the ‘International X-ray and Radium Protection Committee’. Then it was restructured to better take account of uses of radiation outside the medical area, and given its present name, in 1950. ICRP is an not-for-profit organisation in the United Kingdom and currently has its small scientific secretariat in Sweden.
