	RADIATION HAZARDS - Access to Energy Newsletter Archive
		The British National Radiological Protection Board, which is responsible for advising the public on possible dangers from all sources of radiation, has recently published a report showing that 67.6 percent of the total exposure received by the average Briton comes from natural sources, and 30.7 from medical irradiation (mostly X-rays).
		He is joined by the EPA, which as late as Sept. 1977, in its reports on Radiological Quality in the US reported 400,000 person-rems per year from the radon generated in coal ash piles, compared with only 70,000 person-rems for uranium tailings.
		There is no safe level of radioactivity, says Dr John Gofman when he dupes juries into acquitting stormtroopers masquerading as Messiahs.

	Electromagnetic Radiation
		Maximum exposure guideline values (considered to be safe in terms of effect on health) are set by the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB).
		The NRPB is an independent statutory body responsible for advising the UK government departments and others on standards of protection for exposure to ionising and non-ionising radiation, which includes electric and magnetic fields.
		Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is defined as fluctuating fields of electrical and magnetic energy, travelling through space, or through suitable media, as electromagnetic waves.

	MP snubbed over RAF base health survey
		Mr Hoon said: "In the case of early warning radar installations at RAF Fylingdales, the MoD takes all necessary steps to ensure that its activities remain within the health guidelines established by the National Radiological Protection Board (now part of the HPA).
		The decision is a snub to Ryedale MP John Greenway, who wanted the Health Protection Agency (HPA) to keep track of emissions from the early warning station on the North York Moors.
		This showed no evidence of a link between RAF Fylingdales and local cases of cancer, he said.

	Open Meeting of the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones, Edinburgh
		Although the guidance issued by bodies such as the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) is based on the avoidance of thermal (heating) effects from radiofrequency (RF)exposure, they consider all the available data, including evidence for non-thermal effects.
		The Group recognised that they would have to examine the issue of possible non-thermal effects very carefully.
		However, it was important to recognise that a number of different options are available, including: the precautionary principle; precautionary approaches; the concept of as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA); prudent avoidance.

		The lifetime exposure of the population to all sources of ionising radiation was estimated by the National Radiological Protection Board to account for 1% of all fatal cancers in the UK.
		Diagnostic radiation is of concern for the population groups undergoing examinations, be it screening of healthy individuals with mammography or computed tomography (CT) scans for lung cancer or when there is a suspicion of thyroid disease.
		Ionising radiation at high doses causes cancer in humans: only a few cancer types have never been related to ionising radiation.

	Feds Postpone Laser Safety Tests - October, 1998
		John O'Hagan, principal scientific officer at the National Radiological Protection Board in Oxford, UK, which helped to establish the guidelines, said that pilots in the UK are more concerned with the dangers posed by high-power scientific lasers than with laser light shows.
		This level can create a veiling glare that is about as bright as the high beams on an automobile, said Greg Makhov, president of Lighting Systems Design Inc. in Orlando, Fla., and a member of the research group.
		The burst of light is the maximum amount of uncontrolled laser light permitted within the aviation administration's 10-mile "critical flight zone" around an airport.

		Controversy has erupted in efforts to bring radio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines in line with a global standard, a change a leading scientist claims would make America's mobile-phone safety limit the weakest in the world.

		A joint working party (JWP) on patient dose reduction in diagnostic radiology was established between the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) and the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) towards the end of 1988.
		In particular, WP recommends to postgraduate dental deans that courses on radiation protection should be made available on a regular basis and suggests that dentists should attend such a course at intervals not exceeding 7 years.
		By 1998, the subjective quality of all radiographs should be continually assessed and should meet recommended minimum quality 'targets'.
