IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE OF THE POPULATION OF THE U.S.
Impact/Purpose:
Average background radiation doses to the public provide a useful benchmark for describing how any particular source of activity compares to the unavoidable dose that an average member of the public receives. Having an unbiased reference for this information is useful across the government and private sector.
