The recommendations of the ICRP vis-à-vis the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP accident aftermath.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) created a Task Group (ICRP TG84) on the initial lessons learned from the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi NPPs vis-à-vis the ICRP system of radiological protection. The ICRP TG84 is expected to compile lessons learned related to the efforts carried out to protect people against radiation exposure during and after the emergency exposure situation caused by the accident and, in light of these lessons, to consider ad hoc recommendations to strengthen the ICRP system of radiological protection for dealing with this type of emergency exposure. The Chairman of ICRP TG84 presents in this paper his personal views on the main issues being considered by the group at the time of the Fukushima Expert Symposium. ICRP TG84 expects to finalize its work by the end of 2012.
