International Commission on Radiological Protection

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an organization that develops guidelines and recommendations to ensure the safe use of radiation. It provides science-based advice to protect people and the environment from the potential risks of ionizing radiation, such as medical imaging, nuclear power, and industrial applications. The ICRP's guidelines help governments, industries, and healthcare providers establish safety standards to minimize radiation exposure while allowing beneficial uses of radiation. Established in 1928, it is widely respected for its expertise in radiation protection and works globally to promote safe practices.
