Bill > HR4733

This bill requires the Department of Energy to conduct a research program on low-dose and low-dose-rate radiation. Low-dose radiation refers to a dose of less than 100 millisieverts, while low-dose-rate radiation refers to a dose rate of less than 5 millisieverts per hour. The program aims to enhance the scientific understanding of the effects of low-dose radiation exposure and improve risk-assessment and risk-management methods. The bill outlines specific components of the research program, including formulating scientific goals, identifying ongoing challenges, and developing a long-term research agenda. It also requires coordination with other federal agencies and international partners. The bill authorizes funding for the program from fiscal year 2020 to 2023.
