Commenting as an individual

Bullet (i) line 107: - There is a need to specifiy the time line of exposure. This is repeated in paragraph 22 line 323 and 324 to avoid speculation on period of exposure to this dose. However, it is well stated in paragraph 77 line 798

Section 2.2.1.2. Is stochastic effect being redefined here?

Paragraph 34 line 410: There is a need to elaborate on the relation between local demography ad global economy. The two lines are not making sense.

Paragraph 113 line 1180: This is a key statement that should be included in the summary. Pregnant women and persons below the age of 18 should not be firstresponders

General Comment: The report only focuses on two radionuclides: iodine and caesium. However, other radionuclides such as uranium dioxide and xenon have been reported to be discharged during the nuclear accidents. Any specific ICRP report that looks into this other elements of the plume?
