ICRP Publication 60 recommends a change relating to the numerical assessment of radiation quality in radiation protection. The quality factor, Q, is to be replaced by "radiation weighting factors," WR, and the quantity "effective dose equivalent" is to be supplanted by "effective dose." Reasons are given why it is virtually impossible to measure this quantity and why it appears unavoidable that practical measurements will continue to be based on the current system. No sensible justification was provided for the proposed change, which is likely to cause confusion.
国际放射防护委员会第60号出版物建议对辐射防护中辐射质量的数值评估进行一项更改。品质因数Q将被“辐射权重因子”WR取代，“有效剂量当量”这一量将被“有效剂量”取代。文中给出了为何实际上不可能测量该量以及为何实际测量似乎不可避免地将继续基于当前系统的原因。对于所提议的更改，未给出合理的理由，这可能会造成混乱。
