In the event of a nuclear or radiological emergency, short-term countermeasures are implemented. This report summarizes the current status of these countermeasures, such as sheltering, evacuation and iodine prophylaxis in OECD/NEA member countries.

Radiation use in medicine generally gives us the benefit that outweighs the risk. However, some patients are much concerned about the risk while some medical people are unaware of radiation risk. The aim of this report is to review the low dose risk not only in the reports of ICRP, UNSCEAR, BEIR and French academy but also in the scientific papers that have been paid attention to. On these bases, we discuss the low dose risk and how we face the risk in medicine in order to go for medical use of radiation to the right way. In particular, we hope this report will support medical people as well as radiation protection experts should understand the radiation risk in medicine on current scientific basis.

In the field of radiation protection, quality factor Q(L) and radiation weighting factor w_R are important coefficients for estimating both radiation protection and operational quantities to the mixed types of radiation exposure. However, some inconsistencies might be found between Q(L) and w_R for estimating effective dose, for example. Some inconsistencies are attributed to incomplete definition of terms Q(L) and w_R. This report presents the root and evolution of quality factor Q(L) and radiation weighting factor w_R for the years 1931-2007, to clarify the current issues of inconsistencies to be solved.

Knowledge of radioactivity levels and the behavior of radionuclides in the environment are important in terms of radiation protection. Artificial radionuclides are already distributed in the environment as products of atmospheric nuclear tests and nuclear power plants. However, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) and technologically enhanced NORM (TENORM) associated with consumer goods have also become of concern. Radon, for example, represents a large contribution to natural radiation. The Japan Chemical Analysis Center (JCAC) has carried out a series of nationwide surveys under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan. This communication presents an outline of the environmental radioactivity survey and its implementation by the JCAC.

In this paper, the possibility of the biological monitoring by <i>Tradescantia</i> for radiation effluents from a power reactor site is considered. Data for analysis were obtained through the experimental study which had been conducted by Expert Committee on Biological Effects of Environmental Radiation and carried out from 1979 to 1981 near to Takahama Nuclear Power Plant in Fukui Prefecture. Measurements had been taken on the mutation frequency in <i>Tradescantia</i> stamen hairs and environmental factors including evaluated radioactive airborne effluents, natural airborne radioactivity, weather conditions and air pollution indices. This paper is coupled with Yamaguchi <i>et al.</i> (1985); while the latter tackles the problem, mainly by comparing the observed (calculated) concentration levels of radioactive effluents with biological thresholds, this paper presents the results of statistical data analysis which revealed the following: (1) There is highly significant negative correlation between temperature before blooming and mutation frequency. (2) After adjusting the effect of temperature, there is no significant association between radioactive effluents and mutation frequency.

In Poland there are some special regions in which the natural background radiation is obviously higher than in neighboring areas. This paper presents a review of recent radiation measurements taken in the Polish environment. Natural sources including radon, potassium, uranium and thorium as well as artificial sources such as cesium are characterized. Their contribution to the annual radioactivity dose rate is described.
