Some older compilations were issued as standalone CDs (ICRP CD1, CD3).\n\nFor this graph, ICRP material is the primary reference for the physical dose coefficients that regulatory dose limits, radiopharmacy shielding calculations and internal dosimetry software ultimately rest on. The journal articles themselves sit behind a SAGE subscription/pay-per-issue paywall; the calculators, viewers and apps are free.","asOf":"2026-09-22","links":[{"label":"ICRP: Publications","url":"https://www.icrp.org/page.asp?id=5"},{"label":"ICRP: Dose Assessment Resources (viewers, apps, datasets)","url":"https://icrp.org/page.asp?id=505"},{"label":"ICRP Publication 107: Nuclear Decay Data for Dosimetric Calculations","url":"https://www.icrp.org/publication.asp?id=ICRP%20Publication%20107"}],"tags":["dosimetry","regulation","physics"],"related":["opendose"],"indications":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":["dosimetry"],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"url":"https://www.icrp.org/page.asp?id=5","holds":"The Annals of the ICRP publication series (dose coefficients for workers, the public and patients; reference phantoms; decay data) plus free dose-viewer apps, Excel/CSV datasets and calculators tied to specific ICRP publications.","license":"Annals of the ICRP articles are sold/subscribed through SAGE Publications; the dose-coefficient datasets, viewers and apps listed on icrp.org are free to download and use.","maintainer":"International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), an independent, UK-registered scientific commission."},"route":"/collections/icrp-publications/","neighbours":{"collection":[{"id":"opendose","kind":"collection","name":"OpenDose","route":"/collections/opendose/"}],"term":[{"id":"dosimetry","kind":"term","name":"Dosimetry","route":"/terms/dosimetry/"}]}}
