ICRP Publications
Annals of the ICRP is the authoritative source of recommendations and guidance of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). It is published by SAGE UK on behalf of ICRP.
Annals of the ICRP was established in 1977. Previously, ICRP issued its recommendations as individual books or as part of other publications. ICRP began numbering its publications in 1960, although ICRP’s 1959 recommendations are now referred to as Publication 1. Before this time, the recommendations are generally referred to by the year in which they were issued.
Recommendations from 1928 to 1937 were issued by the International X-Ray and Radium Protection Committee or Commission (IXRPC). No recommendations were issued from then until 1950, when the IXRPC was reconstituted as ICRP.
Thanks to the many supporters of the Free the Annals Initiative in 2018 as part of ICRP’s 90th Anniversary celebrations, all issues of Annals of the ICRP, and the ICRP and IXRPC reports issued before this, are free to access other than the current and two most recent volumes.
Those who need access to the latest ICRP recommendations can subscribe to Annals of the ICRP or buy individual issues from SAGE. For those who prefer hardcopies, print-on-demand purchases are also available.
