<ANSIC95.1> (1992) / <NCRP Report 86> (1986) /
<ICIMIRP> (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and

For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). Nevertheless, we
