Dr. Mitsuyoshi Urashima 浦島充佳, 慈恵医大 Why risk perception is much higher than real risk? なぜリスクは現実よりもずっと高いと認識されるか Dr. Kazuo Sakai 酒井一夫, 放医研 From a viewpoint of radiation protection -- to reduce/control exposure to the public— 放射線防護の視点から被曝の減衰・制御のために Prof. Deborah Oughtonデボラ・アウトン, University of Oslo Norway, Fish and Chernobyl ノルウェー、魚、チェルノブイリ Mr. Koji Hasebe 長谷部耕二, 讀賣新聞 The fears of people against radiation exposure 放射線被曝に対する人々の恐れ Dr. Takami Morita 森田貴己, 水産庁 Comparison of regulatory limits for fishery products 水産物の基準値の国別比較 浦島充佳氏 Why risk perception is much higher than real risk? • Radiation is invisible: Smoking is avoidable because it can be seen. • Radiation is not controllable: Food poisoning by pathogenic E Coli was avoidable by heating meat. • Children’s issue: Dividing cells may be more sensitive to radiation induced toxicity, theoretically. • Long lasting: Not 1 year’s problem, but will continue decades. • Uncertainty: We have only a few evidence of low dose radio-contamination in history.
