The purpose of this Report is to: (1) examine the new information about radiation environments in space, especially the radiation environment
within vehicles in low-earth orbit (LEO), (2) to assess the risks to both women and men of various ages exposed to radiation in the light of the current risk estimates of excess cancer and other
radiation effects, and (3) update the radiation protection recommendations given in NCRP Report No. 98 (NCRP, 1989). Other NCRP reports will deal with extrapolation of radiation risks from other
biological systems to humans, biological research needs for deep space missions, evaluation of fluence and microdosimetric techniques
as the basis for a radiation protection system for astronauts, and an operational radiation safety program for astronauts. |
