Where can I find data regarding doses and types of particles in normal and space flights?
Information regarding doses and radiation fields can be found in the following sources: • Terrestrial sources and doses NCRP Report Nos. 93 (Ionizing Radiation Exposure of the Population of the United States), 94 (Exposure of the Population of the United States and Canada from Natural Background Radiation), 95 (Radiation Exposure of the US Population from Consumer Products and Miscellaneous Sources), and 100 (Exposure of the US Population from Diagnostic Medical Radiation). • Space Radiation NCRP Symposium Proceedings No. 3 (Acceptability of Risk from Radiation – Application to Human Space Flight) • Commercial Aircraft NCRP Commentary No. 12 (Radiation Exposure and High-Altitude Flight). • Proceedings of the 1998 NCRP Annual Meeting, No. 20 (Cosmic Radiation Exposure of Airline Crews, Passengers and Astronauts) For information on ordering NCRP publications see the NCRP Web site.
