MTHR - Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research

Sub-Group on Communications

Terms of reference

The aim of this sub-group is to consider the presentation of information on radiation doses and associated health risks to the public. In particular it will address:

• Who is the audience for such information, e.g. people being consulted on a proposed authorisation, local residents around a nuclear site, pressure groups.
• What kind of information people want
• How such information should be presented

Consideration should be given to retrospective and prospective dose assessments i.e total risk, as well as to single dose estimates and probabilistic results. The group will need to review the research carried out for FSA [and others] and will need to develop their work programme with frequent reviews by the full NDAWG.
