The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) issued in February 2018 the Publication 138, titled “Ethical foundation of radiological protection system.” Although the ICRP has longtime recognized that ethics is an essential component of their radiological protection system, they have rarely described explicitly about the ethical foundation of the system. For this reason, the Commission established in 2012 the task group 94 to clarify and describe the ethical foundation of the system. As the result, the publication shows the process of evolution of the radiological protection system through 20th century until now, which leads to the identification of four core ethical values underpinning the system: beneficence and non-maleficence; prudence; justice; and dignity, along with related procedural values: accountability; transparency; and inclusiveness (stakeholder participation). As one of the authors of this publication, I will briefly introduce the developing process and the outlines of it, and additionally will provide a short summary of my experience of discussion through the workshops worldwide, concerning the nuclear accident of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, as well as commonalities and diversities of Western and Asian perspectives of ethical core values.
