(ICRU). International commission on radiological units and measurements |
In 1925 The international commission of radiological units in measurements (ICRU) was formed, mainly because of the lack of suitable dosage unit of international acceptance. In 1928 this group adopted the definition of an international unit, the Roentgen. For the first time measurements throughout the world could be made in terms of the same unit |

|
(NCRP) National Council on radiation protection and measurement |
(NCRP) National Council on radiation protection and measurement was formed in 1929 and provides recommendations to regulatory agencies and provided the basis for protection practices during the Manhattan project |
|
|
(AEC) atomic energy commission |
Atomic energy commission was given legal authority in 1946 to regulate safety of both its workers and it’s contract workers according to recommendations of then current experts |
|
|
(ICRP) international commission on radiation protection |
(ICRP) International convention and radiation protection was formed in 1928 and adopted the first set of radiation protection recommendations
From time-to-time the ICRP has altered and updated its recommendations. In its current reports, the ICRP recommends a basic system of dose limitation that includes these three interrelated aspects. |

The two agencies formed by the splitting of the atomic energy commission |
The two agencies formed by the splitting of the atomic energy commission (AEC)in 1974 by the Energy reorganization act were the nuclear regulatory commission (NRC) And the department of energy (DOE) |
|
|
(NRC). Nuclear regulatory commission |
The NRC took over the licensing function of the AEC for the atomic energy industry and is charged with developing regulations for radiation matters in the US |
|
|
(DOE). Department of energy |
Department of energy (DOE) took over the energy research and development administration (ERDA) functions of the AEC in 1977 |

Identify the purpose and scope of the 10 CFR 835 |
1- 10 cfr 835 allows DOE to convert the contractual standards in orders to enforceable rules, thus enhancing contractor accountability for safety. 2- 10 cfr 835 requires a written radiation protection program be developed and implemented at each site. 3-the scope of 10cfr835 establishes radiation protection standards, limits and program requirements for protecting individuals from ionizing radiation resulting from the conduct of DOE operations. |

DOE RADIOLOGICAL CONTROL STANDARD (RCS) |
The RCS is not a substitute for regulations; it is intended to be consistent with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements and Shall be revised whenever necessary to ensure such consistency.
Radiological control standard RCS is a living document. |
|
|
Shall |
Identifies those elements and requirements that have been considered and found by DOE to be mandatory unless prior approval of alternative approach is obtained |
|
|
Should |
Contractor has the responsibility of either following the provision or demonstrating tactical equivalence by an alternative solution |

|
ICRP Basic Recommendations |
From time-to-time the ICRP has altered and updated its recommendations. In its current reports, the ICRP recommends a basic system of dose limitation that includes these three interrelated aspects.
1- no practice shall be adopted unless its introduction produces a positive net benefit
2- all exposure shall be kept alara, economic and social factors being taken into account
3- the equivalent dose to individuals shall not exceed the recommended limits. |
