The plenary session on the ICRP recommendations for the 21st century at IRPA-11, Madrid.

During the IRPA-11 Congress in Madrid in May 2004, a technical panel session was devoted to the presentation and discussion of the draft 2005 recommendations of the ICRP. Panel members had been given privileged access to the new draft and had been asked to concentrate on specific areas. This memorandum summarises the initial presentation of the main ideas in the draft recommendations by the ICRP Chairman, Roger Clarke, and then presents the views of the six panellists.
