Abstract

In 2015 the United Nations issued 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressing a wide range of global social, economic, and environmental challenges. The main goal of this paper is to provide an understanding of how the current System of Radiological Protection relates to these SDGs. In the first part it is proposed that the current System of Radiological Protection is implicitly linked to sustainable development. This is substantiated by analysing the features of the current System as set out by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) in its publications. In the second part it is proposed that sustainability should be considered and more explicitly addressed in the next ICRP general recommendations, as part of the currently ongoing review and revision of the current System. A few examples are given of how this could be realised, and it is proposed that this issue should be discussed and developed together with the international community interested in radiological protection.

辐射防护系统与联合国可持续发展目标

2015 年，联合国发布了 17 项可持续发展目标 (SDG)，以应对广泛的全球社会、经济和环境挑战。本文的主要目的是让人们了解当前的辐射防护体系与这些可持续发展目标之间的关系。本文第一部分提出，现行辐射防护体系与可持续发展有着内在联系。通过分析国际辐射防护委员会（ICRP）在其出版物中阐述的现行制度的特点，证明了这一点。第二部分提出，作为目前正在进行的对现行制度的审查和修订工作的一部分，国际辐射防护委员会的下一份一般性建议应考虑并更明确地论述可持续性问题。举例说明了如何实现这一点，并建议与对辐射防护感兴趣的国际社会共同讨论和发展这一问题。

期刊介绍： This journal is devoted to fundamental and applied issues in radiation research and biophysics. The topics may include: Biophysics of ionizing radiation: radiation physics and chemistry, radiation dosimetry, radiobiology, radioecology, biophysical foundations of medical applications of radiation, and radiation protection. Biological effects of radiation: experimental or theoretical work on molecular or cellular effects; relevance of biological effects for risk assessment; biological effects of medical applications of radiation; relevance of radiation for biosphere and in space; modelling of ecosystems; modelling of transport processes of substances in biotic systems. Risk assessment: epidemiological studies of cancer and non-cancer effects; quantification of risk including exposures to radiation and confounding factors Contributions to these topics may include theoretical-mathematical and experimental material, as well as description of new techniques relevant for the study of these issues. They can range from complex radiobiological phenomena to issues in health physics and environmental protection.
