In Germany, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and NuclearSafety (BMU) has asked the German Commission on Radiological Protection (SSK) to provideadvice on the revision of the German “Radiological Fundamentals for Decisions on Measuresfor the Protection of the Population against Accidental Releases of Radionuclides”(Radiologische Grundlagen). A working group has been established to guide the preparationof a new version of that document. It was asked that the revision has to consider mostrelevant publications of international bodies such as ICRP, EC and IAEA. Therefore, theICRP recommendations 103, 109 and 111 have to be considered together with the draftdocuments of the European Union and the IAEA Basic Safety Standards. Recommendations ofworking groups of NEA (WPNEM) as well as the EPAL working group of HERCA (Heads ofEuropean Radiological Protection Competent Authorities) will be also taken into account.Within the discussion it turned out that the practical application of the newrecommendation for professionals working in the operational community is extremelyimportant. As the current recommendations are widely accepted and operational all overGermany, it was investigated to which extent the current procedures can be taken over withminor modifications.
