Lessons from past radiation accidents: Critical review of methods addressed to individual dose assessment of potentially exposed people and integration with medical assessment

The experiences of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents showed that dosimetry was essential tool in emergency situation for decision making processes, such as evacuation application protective measures. However, at consequent post-accidental phases, it crucial also medical health surveillance further adaptation to changed conditions with regards radiation protection affected populations. This review provides an analysis related role (dose measurements, assessment reconstruction) regarding preventive measures periods on examples major past Fukushima. Recommendations derived from are called improve individual dose case a radiological accident/incident should be considered advance guidelines follow having better information. They given conclusions.
