This paper presents the first reflections of the Working Group which was created by the French Society for Radiation Protection (SFRP) on key issues which will be addressed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) when developing new recommendations on radiological protection. Based on the analysis of the ICRP Memorandum published in the Journal of Radiological Protection in June 2001, and on the experience of the members, the following topics are being considered: - general reflections on the new system proposed by the ICRP, - considerations on individual and collective dimensions of risk management, - comparison with the management of chemical risks, - radiological protection of the environment, - dosimetric units. © 2002 EDP Sciences.
