There is a need for accurate dosimetry for studies of health effects in the Japanese atomic bomb survivors because of the important role that these studies play in worldwide radiation protection standards. International experts have developed dosimetry systems, such as the Dosimetry System 2002 (DS02), which assess the initial radiation exposure to gamma rays and neutrons but only briefly consider the possibility of some minimal contribution to the total body dose by residual radiation exposure. In recognition of the need for an up-to-date review of the topic of residual radiation exposure in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, recently reported studies were reviewed at a technical session at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society in Sacramento, California, 22-26 July 2012. A one-day workshop was also held to provide time for detailed discussion of these newer studies and to evaluate their potential use in clarifying the residual radiation exposures to the atomic-bomb survivors at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Suggestions for possible future studies are also included in this workshop report.
由于这些研究在全球辐射防护标准中发挥着重要作用，因此有必要对日本原子弹幸存者的健康影响进行精确的剂量学研究。国际专家已经开发出剂量学系统，例如 2002 年剂量学系统（DS02），该系统评估了伽马射线和中子的初始辐射暴露，但仅简要考虑了残留辐射暴露对总剂量的最小贡献的可能性。为了认识到有必要对广岛和长崎的残留辐射暴露这一主题进行最新审查，在加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托举行的 2012 年第 57 届健康物理学学会年会上，对最近报告的研究进行了技术会议审查。还举办了为期一天的研讨会，以便有时间详细讨论这些较新的研究，并评估它们在澄清广岛和长崎原子弹幸存者的残留辐射暴露方面的潜在用途。本研讨会报告还包括对未来可能进行的研究的建议。
