Gerry Thomas1 and Shunichi Yamashita2 1ImperialCollegeLondon,London,UnitedKingdom2NagasakiUniversity,Nagasaki,Japan INTRODUCTION The year 2016 saw the anniversaries of two accidents at nuclear power plants that resulted in exposure to radiation in fallout of populations living in their immediate vicinity—the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident in 1986 and the fifth anniversary of the Fukushima accident in 2011. A meeting was held in Fukushima city in September 2016 to ask the question: “What do we know and what do we need to learn from these two accidents?”(Saenko et al., 2017). This book serves as a record of the presentations made by experts from the medical community, both inside and outside Japan, and from those international bodies charged with providing guidance for response in these types of emergencies to protect local populations from the harm- ful effects of radiation. One of the key lessons that we still need to learn, as evidenced from the expert reports on both accidents by the WHO, UNSCEAR, and IAEA (UNSCEAR Report to the General Assembly of the United Nations, 2008; WHO report on health risk assessment from the nuclear accident after the, 2011; UNSCEAR report, 2013; IAEA report, 2015) is how to get the balance right between protection of the public from actual health effects caused by the direct interaction with radiation on the tissues of the body, and protection of the public from the fear of radiation. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOSE AND RESPONSE There is a common misconception that exposure to radiation from a nuclear power plant accident is (1) different from exposure to natural background radiation or medical radiation and (2) that the dose to an
