the methods, the validity and the scope of current knowledge of the
physical and biological sciences in relation to the effects of
radiation exposure;
- the paradigm of radiation protection,
namely the conceptual model for keeping people safe from the health
effects due to radiation exposure;
- the practice of radiation protection,
namely the actual application and use of radiation protection plans and
methodologies by practitioners and industries making use of radiation.
