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 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.

We are at a critical time in the history of radiation protection dosimetry. The paradigm shift away from the more-than-30-years-old stylized human models is imminent with the development of 30 voxel-based tomographic models in recent years that are based on medical images. Recently, researchers gathered at an international conference to share the latest work and to establish collaborations. This invited review paper introduces various types of modelling and summarizes the latest developments including a Consortium on Computational Human Phantoms (CCHP) that is aimed at facilitating intercomparison and sharing of data for radiation protection purposes.

The present study was designed to investigate the decontamination procedures in first aid for wounds contaminated with radionuclides. Abrasion of mouse skin was contaminated with 58CoCl2. Irrigation by decontamination fluids began at 2min after administration of the radionuclide and continued for 14min. Tap water, 0.5% Hyamine solution or 10% Ca-DTPA solution were used as the decontamination fluids. Radioactivities of whole body, wounded skin surface and washed solution were measured with an animal counter with 5cm NaI (Tl) and a well-type auto-gamma-counter. Decontamination effectiveness were expressed as follows: (1) absorption rate of radionuclide through the wound and (2) residual rate of radionuclide on the wound. More than 20% of the radionuclide applied on the wounded skin was absorbed in 15min after contamination. The absorption rate decreased to 2% by the decontamination procedures. The Ca-DTPA solution reduced the residual rate of radionuclide on the wounds. The results suggested that the decontamination for the contaminated wounds should begin as soon as possible. Irrigation with 0.5% Hyamine solution has been advocated for the decontamination in the first aid.
