National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements

The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) is a U.S. organization that provides guidance on radiation protection. Founded in 1929, it develops recommendations to safeguard public health by studying radiation's effects on people and the environment. The NCRP advises governments and agencies on safe exposure limits and practices in areas like medicine, industry, and nuclear energy. By assessing scientific research, the NCRP helps ensure safety standards are based on the latest knowledge, promoting informed policies to protect individuals and communities from harmful radiation exposure.
