Introduction

Hirotake MoriyamaGeneral,
Kyoto University Research
Reactor Institute,

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy
to the people who suffered the Tohoku
Earthquake and are affected by the subsequent
accident of Fukushima Daiichi NPP. The
Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute(KURRI), taking these situations seriously,
started a new project entitled ‘KURRI
Research Program for Scientific Basis ofNuclear Safety.’ This project will promote ourresearch to enhance the scientific contribution
to the improvement of nuclear safety. We
have a strong incentive to contribute to therestoration of the impacted area as well as tothe reinforcement of nuclear safety. In theframe of this project, we will holdinternational symposiums each year. It is agreat pleasure to announce that the firstsymposium will be held on the 14thDecember, 2012, in Kyoto, the world famous
historic city where our university is located.
I will greatly appreciate your joining thismeeting through active contributions andparticipation, and I look forward to seeing youin Kyoto.

Program will consist of oral session andposter session. All oral presentations will beinvited. For the poster session, we welcome
contributed papers on the topics listed below.
Especially, we welcome environmental
monitoring data or relevant information
obtained in the early stage of the accident.
That data and information will greatly
contribute to the further integrated dosereconstruction. Submitted papers will bepublished as original papers after the peer
review process.
List of Topics
1. Radiation survey in environment
2. Environmental Radioactivity
3. Transfer model and parameters ofradionuclides in environment
4. Ingestion or inhalation of radionuclides
5. Dose assessment model and parameters

About this Symposium

Sentaro Takahashi

International Symposium on

Kyoto University Research
Reactor Institute,Professor

This symposium will deal with theradiological influence to the public from theaccident of Fukushima Daiichi NPP that
occurred in March 2011. The purpose of thissymposium is to bring together data on
environmental radioactivity and radiationdose for residents, discuss and verify these
data, and clarify the actual situation ofenvironmental contamination and resultant
radiation to residents. We believe that theaccurate estimation of radiation dose is quite
essential for the healthy life and peace ofmind of the residents, and we hope many
researchers who are studying radiologicaleffect of the accident will join us for these
purposes.
Key invited lectures will be given on thetechnological aspect of the accident and on
UNSCEAR’s
activityforthedose
reconstruction.
Your contribution and participation will begreatly welcomed and appreciatedBeauty of winter in Kyoto
