This commentary reviews the international radiation protection policy that resulted in the evacuation of more than 90,000 residents from areas near the Fukushima Daiichi NPS and the enormous expenditures to protect them against a hypothetical risk of cancer. The basis for the precautionary measures is shown to be invalid; the radiation level chosen for evacuation is not conservative. The actions caused unnecessary fear and suffering. An appropriate level for evacuation is recommended. Radical changes to the ICRP recommendations are long overdue.
本评论回顾了导致超过 9 万名居民从福岛第一核电站附近地区撤离的国际辐射防护政策,以及为保护他们免受假设的癌症风险而进行的巨额支出。事实证明,预防措施的依据是无效的;选择进行撤离的辐射水平并不保守。这些行动造成了不必要的恐惧和痛苦。建议确定一个适当的撤离水平。国际辐射防护委员会的建议早就应该进行彻底改革。
