  1. Key input for RP Culturefrom JHPS 10th Feb. 2011 Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS) CRIEPI, Japan Takatoshi Hattori

  2. Goals for RP Culture • To give visibility to the fundamentals of RP (science and values) • To promote radiation risk awareness • To promote shared responsibility among practitioners, operators, regulators and management • To maintain the RP heritage • To facilitate its transmission • To improve the quality and effectiveness of RP • To improve communication with society • To enhance the visibility of RP in our societies Ref. IRPA website( http://www.irpa.net/images/stories/2010/irpa-rp-culture-krk-3-5-2010.ppt)

  3. Needs for Visibility of RP • Probabilistic effect is a target of RP concerning public exposure below 1 mSv/y. • but, there is no actual and detectable health damage from exposure in the dose region below 1 mSv/y. • How can we ensure the visibility for such low probabilistic risk ? One of solution: Background based approach

  4. BG cancer mortality distribution Ref.: National Cancer Center Age-adjusted Cancer Mortality Rate under Age 75 by Prefectures (2005)

  5. Scientific knowledge #1 BG cancer risk and assumed risk due to man-made radioactive nuclides T. Hattori, Understanding of minute assumed risk due to radiation from man-made radioactive nuclides taking into consideration quantitative comparison with detriments based on background cancer mortality in Japan. Jpn. J. Health Phys., Vol. 45, No. 2, pp172-176 (2010). http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jhps

  6. BG cancer incidence distribution • Radiation risk (detriment) in ICRP Pub. 103 was derived using database in Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. VIII in International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). • The newest one is Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. IX issued in 2009. 5 continents (6 regions) 60 countries (214 registries)

  7. Probability plot Mean：1.6×10-3 σ：3.8×10-4 World

  8. Probability plot (6 Continents) Asia Africa Oceania North America Europe Central & South America

  9. Probability plot (North America) North America Canada United States 5 x 10-5 assumed risk for 1 mSv/y 5 x 10-5 assumed risk for 1 mSv/y 5 x 10-5 assumed risk for 1 mSv/y

  10. Scientific knowledge #2 BG cancer risk and assumed risk due to man-made radioactive nuclides

  11. Summary • Fundamentals of RP is currently too difficult and sometimes ambiguous for understanding by public. • RP experts should have more comprehensive understanding of radiation risk on a basis of their own countries’ datato improve communication with their societies. • If we can propose an international program using platform of RP Culture, RP system in the region below 1 mSv/y could be evolved by comprehensive background cancer risk approach.
