2019 HPS Annual Meeting: ICRP/IRPA Special Session on Tolerability and Reasonableness

Don't forget! The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) will be cohosting the special session "Tolerability and Reasonableness" at the 2019 Health Physics Society Annual Meeting. Reasonableness and tolerability are key concepts that underlie the principles of optimization and dose limitation, and much discussion and debate has arisen with respect to how we practically and responsibly implement these concepts.

This session will provide both an historical context for the evolution of the terms "tolerability" and "reasonableness" and a discussion of various international initiatives and perspectives on moving forward in determining their practical application. There will also be an opportunity at the end of the session for open discussion.

You can find the full list of presentations and abstracts on the meeting web page.
