International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an independent international organization that advances the science of radiological protection for the public benefit, particularly by providing recommendations and guidance on all aspects of protection against ionizing radiation. The ICRP is a community of more than 380 globally-recognized experts in radiological protection science, policy, and practice from more than 50 countries. As of January 2024, the ICRP is comprised of a Main Commission, the Scientific Secretariat, four Standing Committees, and 30 Task Groups under the four committees. The ICRP has released well over one hundred publications on all aspects of radiological protection. Most address a particular area within radiological protection, but a handful of the publications, the so-called fundamental recommendations, describe the overall system of radiological protection. The system for radiological protection is based on the current understanding of the science of radiation exposure and its effects along with value judgements. The ICRP offers recommendations to regulatory and advisory agencies and provides advice to management and professional staff with responsibilities for radiological protection. Legislation in most countries adheres closely to ICRP recommendations. The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) International Basic Safety Standards are based heavily on ICRP recommendations. ICRP recommendations form the core of radiological protection standards, legislation, programs, and practice worldwide.

1966년에 ICRP가 Publication 9로 방사선방호에 관한 권고를 내놓은 이후 처음으로, 10여년에 걸친 방사선방호의 실무경험과 방사선생물학의 축적된 지식을 수용한 개정판 권고를 1977년에 새로히 내놓았다. 본고(本稿)에서는 새 권고가 발표된 이후에 나온 추가 보완사항을 소개함과 동시에 그 전체적 내용을 Publication 9의 그것과 비교 검토하는 한편 이 새로운 권고의 실제적 적용과 법제화등에 관한 각국의 최신 동향을 소개한다.

Background: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommendations and the Federal Guidance Report (FGR) published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been widely applied worldwide in the fields of radiation protection and dose assessment. The dose conversion coefficients of the ICRP and FGR are widely used for assessing exposure doses. However, before the coefficients are used, the user must thoroughly understand the derivation process of the coefficients to ensure that they are used appropriately in the evaluation. Materials and Methods: The ICRP provides recommendations to regulatory and advisory agencies, mainly in the form of guidance on the fundamental principles on which appropriate radiological protection can be based. The FGR provides federal and state agencies with technical information to assist their implementation of radiation protection programs for the U.S. population. The system of radiation dose assessment and dose conversion coefficients in the ICRP and FGR is reviewed in this study. Results and Discussion: A thorough understanding of their background is essential for the proper use of dose conversion coefficients. The FGR dose assessment system was strongly influenced by the ICRP and the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), and is hence consistent with those recommendations. Moreover, the ICRP and FGR both used the scientific data reported by Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR) and United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) as their primary source of information. The difference between the ICRP and FGR lies in the fact that the ICRP utilized information regarding a population of diverse races, whereas the FGR utilized data on the American population, as its goal was to provide guidelines for radiological protection in the US. Conclusion: The contents of this study are expected to be utilized as basic research material in the areas of radiation protection and dose assessment.

In Korea, the dose limits are reduced and are set at the ICRP-60 iimits. However, derived limits tabulated as MPC in air and water are still specified in Notice No.98-12. There are some discrepancies between the primary dose limits and MPCs in air and water. Therefore, in order to accept ICRP-60 recommendations fully, derived limits such as ALI, DAC, ECL for radiological protection against ionizing radiation based on ICRP-60 recommendations were calculated using modified methods of those of 10 CFR part 20, dose limits and committed effective dose coefficients of the Basic Safety Standards of the IAEA. The derived limits in this study were also compared with those prescribed in 10 CFR part 20 as well as MPCs of Notice No. 98-12 in order to analyze the impact of implementing derived limits on nuclear facilities. ECLs in air and water for the control of radioactive discharge into the environment in this study are shown to have lower values (i.e. more conservative), for most part, than those in Notice No. 98-12. Especially, for uranium elements, ECLs in water are approximately a magnitude in the order of two lower than those in Notice No.98-12.

국제방사선방호위원회에서는 2007년에 방사선방호에 관한 권고(ICRP 103)를 개정하였다. 이에 따라 국제원자력기구에서도 전리방사선 방호에 관한 국제기본안전기준을 개정하고 있으며 국내에서도 신권고의 내용을 국내요건에 반영하기 위한 연구가 진행 중이다. 신권고가 기존 권고에서 크게 변화되지 않았지만 방사선산업의 성장으로 인해 작은 변화에도 큰 영향을 가져올 수 있기 때문에 신권고의 내용을 국내 반영하기 위한 준비가 필요하다. ICRP 103의 주요 특징중 하나는 기존 권고에 비해 방호최적화를 한 단계 더 강조한 것이다. 이를 위해 계획피폭상황에서 선량제약치를, 기존 및 비상피폭상황에서 참조준위를 사용할 것을 권고하였다. 선량제약치는 전망적이고 선원중심적 제한값으로서 개인에 대한 방호의 기본 수준을 제공하며, 그 선원에 대한 방사선방호 최적화에 상한 선량 역할을 하게 된다. 이에 따라 국내에서도 원자력 및 방사선이용시설에 대해 선량제약치 운영이 요구될 것이다. 규제기관과의 협력과 더불어 직무피폭에 관한 선량제약치를 사업자가 설정하고 운영함으로써 최적화가 더 강조될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 선량제약치가 규제도구가 아닌 방사선방호최적화를 위한 절차로 국내 적용되기 위한 방안을 도출하였다.

ICRP-60의 방사선방호 신개념이 국내 법령에 도입됨에 따라 원전 방사성유출물 관리의 변경이 불가피한 실정이다. 방사성유출물 관리의 중요한 요소 중의 하나가 원전 방사선감시계통(Radiation Monitoring System)의 적절한 운용이다. RMS는 원자력법에 명시되어 있는 일반인의 선량한도와 배출관리기준을 만족하도록 운용되어야 한다. 방사성유출물을 제한하는 기준에 따른 RMS 경보설정치의 비교ㆍ분석을 통해 국내 원전에 적용 가능한 최적의 개선방안을 제시할 수 있다. 본 논문에선 선량한도 기준 중 가능한 모든 피폭경로를 고려하여 예상선량률을 계산한 선행 RMS 경보설정 개선방안과의 비교를 위해 주요 피폭경로만 고려하는 선량환산인자에 의한 예상선량률 계산과 RMS 경보설정 개선방안을 조사하였다.

파노라마 촬영 시 눈과 갑상선의 표면선량 실험은 광주지역 10개 병원을 대상으로 열형광선량계(Thermoluminescent dosimeter, TLD)와 형광유리선량계(Photoluminescent dosimeter, PLD)를 이용하여 각각 병원에서 사용하는 조건으로 측정(measurement)하였다. ICRP 60과 ICRP 73에서 권고한 눈에 대한 허용기준은 15mSv, 갑상선에 대한 허용기준은 연간 1mSv이다. 왼쪽 눈(Left Eye)의 TLD와 PLD값은 각각 0.19mSv와 0.24mSv, 오른쪽 눈(Right Eye)의 TLD와 PLD의 값은 0.23mSv와 0.25mSv, 갑상선의 TLD와 PLD의 값은 0.08mSv와 0.25mSv로 허용기준치를 초과하지 않았다. 또한 각 장기에 대한 TLD와 PLD의 비교에서는 왼쪽 눈과 갑상선이 유의한 차이가 있다고 볼 수 있고(p<0.01), 오른쪽 눈은 유의한 차이가 없다고 볼 수 있다(p>0.05). 각 병원에서 사용하는 파노라마 기기로 눈과 갑상선에 미치는 선량을 TLD와 PLD로 측정 하였을 때 눈과 갑상선의 표면선량은 ICRP 60에서 권고한 선량을 넘지 않았지만, 확률적 영향이 일어날 수 있으므로 모든 준위의 선량에 대해서 고려되어야 한다.

The paper discusses results of recent international intercomparison exercises on internal dose assessments, status of up to date internal dosimetry methods and the radiological legislation developed and implemented in Korea, European Union and Ukraine. The system of radiation protection in Korea is based on the Korean Atomic Energy Regulatory Enforcement on Safety Standards (Ministry Notice No. 2001-2). The notice is based on the recommendations in ICRP Publication 60 (1990) and IAEA Basic Safety Standards (1996). But the full implementation of the notice by the end of the year 2002 is not required because of the socio-economic situation and inexperience in internal radiation dosimetry Regulatory framework for internal radiation dosimetry is under development toward the full implementation of the notice from January 1, 2003. The system of radiation protection in Ukraine is based on the National radiation protection regulatory code NRBU-97. The code was developed and adopted in 1998 and replaced the Regulations of Former Soviet Union. The document is based on the ICRP Publication 60, Euratom Directive 96/29 and IAEA Basic Safety Standards (1996). The transitional period of 5 years (effected till January 2003) is established for implementation of all requirements of this new regulation. The system of radiation protection in the European Community is based on the Council Directive 96/29/Euratom, adopted in 1996 and enforced from 13 May 2000. Directive 96/29/Euratom has the status of the European law.
