International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an independent organization that provides guidance and recommendations on radiation safety to protect people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Established in 1928, it develops principles for radiation use in medicine, industry, and research, ensuring that exposure is justified and kept as low as reasonably achievable. The ICRP's work helps governments and organizations create regulations and policies to safeguard public health and manage radiation risks effectively, promoting safe practices in areas where radiation is present.
