SAB Report: Future Issues in Environmental Radiation. Report on Future Issues andChallenges in the Study of Environmental Radiation, with a Focus Toward Future Institutional Readiness by the Environmental Protection Agency

摘要

The Radiation Environmenal Futures Subcommittee of the Radiation AdvisoryCommittee (RAC) of the EPA Science Advisory Board has prepared a report on future issues and challenges in the study, management, and regulation of environmental radiation. The result of that process and hence the focus of the report was seven major topics that included: energy production and environmental quality, radioactive waste management, non-ionizing radiation, dose-response models and population susceptibility, radon in indoor air, control of nuclear materials from dismantled warheads, and institutional readiness to deal with future issues in environmental radiation.
