Somatic Effects Effects of radiation limited to the exposed individual, as distinguished from genetic effects, that may also affect subsequent unexposed generations. Genetic Effects The radiation induced change in the DNA of germ cells resulting in the passing of the altered genetic information to future generations. 大学等放射線施設協議会
External Exposures vs. Internal Exposures Inhalation Trough the skin Ingestion External exposure Internal exposure 大学等放射線施設協議会
Protecting Against External Exposure As near to the radiation source as possible 3 principles Shield radiation sources. Shielding Shield Stay as far away as possible. Distance Dose rate = K/ R2 K: constant R: distance Time Keep exposure time short ! 大学等放射線施設協議会

Atomic Energy Basic Law (1955) Article 1 【basic policy】 The research, development and utilization of atomic energy shall be limited to peacefulpurposes, aimed at ensuring safety and performed independently under democratic management, the results therefrom shall be made publicto contribute to international cooperation.
Radioisotopes, Accelerators: Laws concerning Prevention of Radiation Hazards due to Radioisotopes, etc. (1957) [concerned authority : Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology] • Reactors, Nuclear Fuel: Laws concerning the Control of Nuclear Source Material, Nuclear Fuel Material, and Nuclear Reactor (1957) [concerned authority : Ministry of Education , Culture, Sports, Science and Technology] • Labor Safety: Labor Safety Hygiene Laws (1972) (X-ray generators of energy<1MeV) [concerned authority : Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare]
Laws concerning Prevention of Radiation Hazards due to Radioisotopes, etc. • Radioisotopes to be controlled concentration + activity > exemption level (IAEA BSS Safety Series No. 115, 1996) • Accelerators to be controlled dose rate at 10cm from surface >0.6 mSv/h

In 1st class area, wear a work uniform or lab coat. How to enter and exit the 1st class radiation controlled area. • They are placed on the shelf at the entrance. • Return the used ones in the plastic laundry box next to the exit. • Do not throw in a uniform that is still clean during the experiment, to avoid unnecessary laundry. • use a uniform on a hanger for temporary work. uniform for temporary work work uniform plastic laundry box
② ① display scanner Take off your shoes and put them in the shoe cupboard. intercom Scan your barcode. ③ ④ Do not wear the shoes while on the blue mat !! Take safety shoes of proper size. Put on them off the blue mat.
Exiting from the radiation controlled area Wash your hands.
(2) Test contamination by hand-foot monitor. Contamination monitoringbyhand-foot-clothes monitor. • When warning alarm goes off signaling contamination: • Try the monitor again. • Wash your hands once more and try monitor again. • If feet or clothes are contaminated, or washing your hands many times can not remove contamination, use the nearest phone to contact staff in the radiation control room or call the emergency number on the bulletin board. • (Stay still as much as possible to prevent further contamination.) (1) Scan your barcode. Place hands inside the monitor and push downward. Wait 10 seconds for monitoring. (3) Use the clothes monitor.
All articles taken out from the radiation controlled area must be monitored for contamination. It shows “Contamination” in red and alarm goes off. Write down the test result. When using the cart, monitor the cart wheels. When the pointer indicates over 100cpm, you cannot take the article out. Consult with radiation control staff.
In case of fire • First, yell out “FIRE!” • Evacuate to a safe place. • Call extension 111 to guard station. Inform where the fire has started, situation, your name and lab, number you can be contacted, and the fact that the fire is in radiation controlled area. • Gather in front of the east entrance of RIBF bldg for a roll-call. • If at all possible, help prevent fire from spreading.
