An international framework for environmental radiation protection has been developed over the last few decades. From 2005 to 2017, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) established a committee on environmental protection and published several reports. ICRP developed a protection framework which was based on the Reference Animals and Plants corresponding to the Reference Man in radiation protection of humans, and the Derived Consideration Reference Level which is the band of dose rates corresponding to the possibility of adverse effect of each animals and plants. The present review summarized the current state of the environmental protection system focusing on the activities of ICRP first and then of other international organizations. The current issues about environmental protection were also discussed.
