3、PS N13.22-2013.) This version of the standard is identical to the previous version (HPS N13.22-1995) and is a re-affirmation of the earlier standard. The text of the standard is unchanged. The 1995 standard was thoroughly reviewed and accepted in its existing form. It is the only standard specifical
4、ly applicable to bioassay programs that monitor individuals for uranium intake. Recent toxicological information on uranium was evaluated as part of the review process, and the precision and quality of the existing standard are adequate and require no changes. Adherence to requirements of this stand
5、ard helps assure programmatic compliance with existing radiation protection laws and directives of the United States. The Working Group will initiate a revision to this standard when the latest International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommendations on biokinetic models and the as
6、sociated dose coefficients (i.e., ICRP Publication 103) are fully available. The 2013 version of this standard is a re-affirmation of the 1995 version, performed under the authority of the Health Physics Society Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) N13, Radiation Protection.
