The National Commission on Radiation Defense (NCRD) of the USSR Health Ministry proposed standard values--maximum limit of life dose for the population equalling 35 ber per 70 years. Despite the seeming accordance of this value to NCRD recommendations according to which the equivalent dose of irradiation of a limited part of the population should not exceed 0.5 ber yearly, the NCRD does not take into consideration the irregular character of radiation. Numerous data from the literature are presented on the presence of some nonstochastic and stochastic effects even in such comparatively low doses showing the impossibility of acceptance of such standard values.
