In the decade prior to the publication of Technical Reports Series No. In the past few years there has been an increasing emphasis on the needto address radiological impacts on the environment as a whole, includingnon-human biota.
The long held view that protection of the environmentwas assured as a consequence of protecting the human population,endorsed by International Commission on Radiological Protection2. In the IAEApublished a discussion report [12] on the protection of the environmentfrom the effects of ionizing radiation.
Radionuclide sourcesThe most significant events since the publication of TRS that have ledto an actual or potential input of radionuclides into the marine environmenthave been the following. In addition, changes in the pattern of routine releases of radioactive wasteinto the sea have also occurred.
