The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) has been active in the areas of radiation protection and measurements since its inception as 'The Advisory Committee on X-Ray and Radium Protection' in 1929. It was originally established to represent all of the national radiological organizations in the United States on a collective, scientific basis and to serve, in essence, as the United States national analog of the International X-Ray and Radium Protection Committee which was created in July 1928 under the auspices of the Second International Congress of Radiology and, subsequently, evolved into the International Commission on Radiological Protection.
