Estimated effective doses from the accident outside of Japan are considered to be below, or far below the dose levels regarded as very small by the international radiological protection community.

The radiation risk proposed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection ( ICRP ) predicts that an effective dose of one sievert carries a 5.5 % chance of developing cancer.
43.
Following the accident, journalists mistrusted many medical professionals ( such as the spokesman from the UK National Radiological Protection Board ), and in turn encouraged the public to mistrust them.

He points out that the International Commission on Radiological Protection in Stockholm estimated that the additional risk from mammograms to women with BRCA mutations was just a fraction of 1 percent.

Estimated effective doses from the accident outside Japan are considered to be below ( or far below ) the dose levels regarded as very small by the international radiological protection community.

The radiation exposure of these individuals is carefully monitored with the use of dosimeters and other radiological protection instruments which will measure radioactive particulate concentrations, area gamma dose readings and radioactive contamination.
47.
Because the water around the core of a reactor is always contaminated with traces of radionuclides, the turbine must be shielded during normal operation, and radiological protection must be provided during maintenance.

The team didn't uncover any imminent hazards to the plant's workers or the general public but found some room for improvement in radiological protection and plant operations, the DOE said in a statement.
49.
The sievert is used for a number of dose quantities which are described in this article and are part of the international radiological protection system devised and defined by the ICRP and ICRU.

The study, commissioned for the National Radiological Protection Board, a government agency, is the most detailed examination to date of the cancer risk from electromagnetic fields, according to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
