Introduction to Radiation Safety ~Risk Assessment for Our Life and Society~

Since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident occurred, there has been a strong awareness that the risk of radiation and radioactive substances is not solely an issue to be handled by a few specialists albeit an issue that should be shared by many as a matter of wisdom for daily life. Simultaneously, there is strong interest in radiation protection in medical use and in the event of nuclear disasters, as well as in issues related to the risk management of radioactive waste. However, solutions to these issues, while eagerly awaited both in Japan and abroad, remain difficult to achieve. In contrast, a significant number of faculty members in Tohoku University are engaged in radiation-related research and education. Therefore, faculty members from the Graduate Schools of Science, Medicine, and Engineering will introduce the basics of radiation and radioactive substances, and their own knowledge of radiation. This course aims to deepen your knowledge of radiation and radioactive substances and to assist you in applying this to your daily life.
