REPORT BY THE IZ2'7
Comptroller General
OF THE UNITED STATES
Radiation Control Programs
Provide Limited Protection
Health effects from high levels of ionizing
and nonionizing radiation are known to be
serious. The effects of low-level exposure are
controversial and uncertain, although it is
penerally agreed that any radiation exposure
involves some risk.
A comprehensive Federal or State radiation
control program to protect the public from
radiation hazards does not exist. In the ei]ht
States reviewed' many sources of radiation
were not regulated, the coverage of regulated
sources was limited, and there was little as-
surance that identified hazards were cor-
rected.
