The new information on radiation risks prompted the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) to recommend that occupational workers exposure should be so controlled as not to exceed an average effective dose equivalent of 15 mSv per year. This recommendation has been considered by the Working Group on Ionising Radiations of the HSC ° and it can be expected that, pending revisions to the ICRP basic recommendations and the European Directive, this recommendation will be taken into account in an addition to the Approved Code of Practice during 1990.
