As the use of radioactive materials has spread mainly in the medical and industrial fields, the Nuclear Regulatory Authority has created the first manual that summarizes treatment methods in preparation for exposure accidents.
In addition to nuclear-related facilities such as nuclear power plants, radioactive materials are also used in recent years for applications such as cancer treatment by radiation irradiation and internal inspection of products, and their use is expanding mainly in the medical and industrial fields.
In light of this situation, the NRA decided to create the first manual that summarizes treatment methods in case of an accident.
Already asked the Quantum Science and Technology Research and Development Organization in Chiba City to collect the latest knowledge and knowledge of past domestic and overseas exposure accidents while referring to the IAEA = International Atomic Energy Agency guidelines The
The policy is to summarize specific symptoms, effective drug types, and timing of administration.
In addition to high-dose exposure, such as a criticality accident in Tokai-mura, Ibaraki Prefecture, where two workers died, the contents should be able to cope with low-dose exposure and internal exposure caused by inhaling radioactive materials. The
In the future, the NRA will make full-scale preparation work, saying, `` Because it has been pointed out that each hospital has been assigned a response and the know-how has not been sufficiently shared, it is possible to respond by creating a manual. I want to improve this. "
Doctor “Increased Risk of Radiation Accident”
Dr. Kazuhiko Maekawa (78), an emeritus professor and doctor at the University of Tokyo who treated two workers who had been exposed to a high dose during a criticality accident in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture 20 years ago. Regarding the manual, “There is an increasing number of sites that handle radiation in various examinations and treatments, and it can be said that the risk of radiation accidents is higher than before. In Europe and other countries, nuclear terrorism is taken into account. As a countermeasure, we have created an exposure medical manual. In Japan, it is necessary to organize and summarize what has been accumulated so far. "
