─ Publication 138の翻訳過程の紹介─

抄録

In recent years, public interest in ICRP publications has increased. The ICRP publications are widely disseminated not only to regulators and operators but also to the concerned members of the public. Translations of ICRP Publications are essential for understanding the ICRP Recommendations and sharing them widely with stakeholders. In the fiscal year 2017, the Nuclear Regulation Authority of Japan (NRA) launched an outsourced project “Survey of International Commission on Radiological Protection publications for domestic regulations.” A Japanese translation has been published after a multi-stage check by several experts under a Translation Committee. This report provides an overview of the activities of Japanese Translation Committee and the translation process of ICRP Publication 138. This publication is a unique ICRP report that deals with ethical foundations of the system of radiological protection.
