Description

Six of the thirteen government-sponsored research institutions in the Federal Republic of Germany carry out research work for the protection of the population against the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Their activities in this field concentrate on the following four points of main interest: analysis of radiation-induced processes resulting in biological radiation injury; description and analysis of complex radiation effects on man; medical applications of ionizing radiation for diagnosis and therapy; concepts and methods for radiological protection. The work reported reviews the main problems encountered in the above-mentioned subject fields and presents examples of significant results, with illustrations. The original research papers and their authors are listed separately under the four points of main interest. (orig./MG)

Abstract (German)

Sechs von dreizehn Grossforschungseinrichtungen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland fuehren Forschungsvorhaben durch, die sich mit dem Schutz des Menschen vor schaedlichen Wirkungen ionisierender Strahlen befassen. Diese Forschungen haben im wesentlichen vier Schwerpunkte: Aufklaerung von Wirkungsmechanismen, die zu den biologischen Strahlenschaeden fuehren. Beschreibung und Analyse von komplexen Strahlenwirkungen auf den Menschen. Verwendung von ionisierender Strahlung in der Medizin zur Diagnostik und zur Therapie von Krankheiten sowie Entwicklung von Konzepten und Verfahren fuer den Strahlenschutz. Die vorliegenden Ausfuehrungen sollen die wichtigsten Fragestellungen zu den genannten Themenkreisen erlaeutern; dazu werden anhand von Abbildungen Beispiele von interessanten Ergebnissen gebracht. Zu jedem Schwerpunkt werden die einzelnen Forschungsvorhaben gesondert aufgelistet. Zudem werden Hinweise auf die beteiligten Wissenschaftler gegeben. (orig./MG)
