Radiation safety standards are designed to prevent deterministic effects and to limit the probability of a stochastic effect to a societally acceptable level in return for the benefits to society that result from the use of the radiation. Radiation safety standards and practices are recommended by the ICRP, a nongovernmental scientific body. These recommendations form the basis for the radiation safety standards promulgated by the various international and national regulatory agencies. On an international level, the United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the leading standard setting organization. Its safety standards are published in the Safety Series under the title International Basic Safety Standards for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources 2. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets the basic standards, and several regulatory agencies, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), issue specific regulations for those activities over which they have legal jurisdiction. The USNRC regulations are based on ICRP Publications 26 and 30 1,3, while OSHA regulations are based on ICRP Publication 2. The Department of Energy (DOE) has a mixture of ICRP recommendations that are promulgated in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 835.
