Following the proposals from Professor Roger Clarke for major revisions to the ICRP system for radiological protection under the generic concept of 'controllable dose', IRPA initiated a consultation exercise among its Member Societies. This culminated in a debate at the IRPA-10 Congress in Hiroshima in May 2000. The results of this debate and the position papers developed by a number of Societies have now been sent by IRPA to ICRP. Background In the autumn of 1999 the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) invited its Member Societies to comment on Professor Roger Clarke's 'controllable dose' paper from August 1998 and his subsequent article 'Control of low-level radiation exposure: time for a change?' which was published in Journal of Radiological Protection volume 19, issue 2, 107-15 (1999). It was considered that such a review undertaken by the radiation protection practitioner community would enable a useful analysis of the effectiveness of the current framework for radiological protection, and provide important input to the early deliberations of ICRP on new or revised recommendations for the future.The IRPA-10 Congress in May 2000 in Hiroshima provided the obvious focus for bringing together the responses from the various Societies. Many Societies had formed working groups, or undertaken member consultation exercises, in order to develop a view on the proposals. The results of the UK SRP exercise were published as a memorandum, 'Controllable dose: SRP International Committee Working Party summary report', in Journal of Radiological Protection volume 20, issue 2, 205-18 (2000). In the interim, the debate had continued with Professor Clarke participating in a number of prestigious meetings and with bodies such as NEA-CRPPH publishing related reports or commentaries. The topical session The topical session entitled 'Critical issues and alternative approaches to setting radiation protection criteria' was chaired by myself and co-chaired by Dr J-F Lecomte from the SFRP. We were ably assisted by Dr A Bandle acting as rapporteur. I gave a short introduction emphasising that this was a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of ICRP recommendations at a formative stage. I raised the basic question whether, even recognising the faults in the current system, they are sufficiently momentous to require a fundamental change or whether they could be dealt with by modifications and more emphasis on the appropriate interpretation of what has actually been said by ICRP.Professor Clarke set the scene for the discussions. He clarified that the main objectives of the exercise were to examine possibilities for changes in the philosophy and framework of the existing system, where particular difficulties arose in understanding, clarity and operational implementation. The main endpoint for this was a system that would be simpler and easier to use, and most importantly one that would achieve greater public understanding and support. He reiterated that this was evolution not revolution and in many ways ...
