Page 689 - Guide" be adopted for Federal use. This term is defined as the radiation dose which should not be exceeded without careful consideration of the reasons for doing so; every effort should be made to encourage the maintenance of radiation doses as far below this guide as practicable.
Page 244 - Council suggests the use of the arbitrary assumption that the majority of individuals do not vary from the average by a factor greater than three.
Page 176 - It is therefore necessary to strike some balance between maximum use and zero risk. In establishing radiation protection standards, the balancing of risk and benefit is a decision involving medical, social, economic, political, and other factors.
Page 220 - Partial body irradiation. Pertains to the case in which part of the body is exposed to the incident electromagnetic energy. (III) Radiation protection guide. Radiation level which should not be exceeded without careful consideration of the reasons for doing so.
Page 689 - Control actions would be designed to reduce the levels to Range II or lower and to provide stability at lower levels. These actions can be directed toward further restriction of the entry of radioactive materials into the environment or the control of radioactive materials after entry into the environment in order to limit intake by humans. Sharply rising trend in Range III would suggest strong and prompt action.

Such psychological concepts as "perception," "intention," "value," "hostility," "confidence," "trust," and "suspicion" recur repeatedly in discussions of war and peace.1 I wish to make it clear that what I have to say in this paper is not based upon well-established, scientifically verified, psychological knowledge. As psychologists, we have only meager, fragmentary...

The Radiation Protection Guides (RPG's) in those reports were developed as guidelines for the protection of radiation workers and the general public against exposures which might result from routine uses of ionizing radiation....
