NCRP Commentary No. 1, Krypton-85 in the Atmosphere with Specific Reference to the Public Health Significance of the Proposed Controlled Releases at Three Mile Island
NCRP Commentary No. 1 was undertaken at the request of the Governor of Pennsylvania. As a result of the request, the NCRP examined scientific material relating to the health effects of krypton-85, updated NCRP Report No. 44 on krypton-85, which was published in 1975, and estimated the doses to the public and the risks associated with them for the amounts of krypton-85 expected to be released as a result of the proposed venting at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. The document specifies that the results of this study made clear that the maximum doses likely to be received by any person as a result of the proposed venting were very small. The Commentary compares risks likely to result from exposures attributable to the proposed venting with risks from other sources and specifies that the exposures likely to be received as a result of the proposed venting were not a valid basis for concern with respect to health effects.
