Consequences for the emergency protection - international

Extreme disasters as the earthquake and tsunami caused accidents in the NPP Fukushima Daiichi in 2011 are not only health hazardous situations for the respective population but also hazards for their material prosperity and the social cohesion. In order to minimize such consequences the responsible governmental authorities are committed to provide conceptual and material provisions in the frame of emergency planning. The concepts concerning radiation protection should be based on the recommendations and standards of international organizations like IAEA and ICRP, including the evaluation results from previous emergency situations and scientific findings (UNSCEAR).
