Aims and Scope | > About > Aims and Scope |
The purpose of the Journal of Radiation Protection and Research is to disseminate scientific and technical information on radiation protection and related issues covering both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. These include not only man-made radiation and radionuclides but also cosmic radiation and naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). Specific expertise covers radiation physics and detection, radiation dosimetry, dose monitoring and evaluation, radiation biology and epidemiology, radiation risk assessment, radiation public health and environmental impact, radiation safety and regulations, training and education, and social science and participation including social communication and risk communication. The fields of radiological protection include uses of radiation/radioisotopes, nuclear industry and research, NORM industry and research, radiation diagnosis and therapy, accelerator research, and radioactive waste.
Topics:
1. Fundamental Basis and Theory of Radiological Protection
2. Radiation Detection, Dosimetry, Monitoring and Dose Evaluation
3. Radiation Biology, Epidemiology and Risk Assessment
4. Radiation Public Health and Environmental Impact
5. Radiation Safety and Regulations, Emergency Preparedness and Response
6. Training and Education, Risk Communication, Social Science and Participation
7. Radiological Protection in Diagnosis and Therapy
8. Decommissioning and Radioactive Waste
