OP-1 Radon
　　　This session will cover international trend about the regulation of indoor radon which is gaining importance in recent years. Moreover, standardization of the measuring methods for radon and thoron concentration will be also considered. The keyword of the session will be on calibration of radon and thoron, national surveys, and epidemiology.
Session Program

OP-2 Emergency Preparedness and Response
　　　This session basically discusses the current status of emergency preparedness and response for a nuclear or radiological emergency in Asian countries. Recently, the 2007 recommendations of the ICRP emphasize the importance of optimization of the overall response strategy, while the IAEA issued a Safety Requirements publication on preparedness and response for a nuclear or radiological emergency and several documents to implement the capabilities for responding to radiation emergencies. The future perspectives of improving theircapabilities in these lines will also be addressed.
Session Program

OP-3 Radiation Measurement
　　　This session will discuss the application of radiation measurements for radiation protection. New technologies of radiation detection, radiation analysis, or radiation quantification, applications of conventional radiation measurement method in today's style, calibration, standardization, and optimization of radiation measurement will be presented.
Session Program

OP-4 Radiation Control and Management
　　　This session will discuss mainly serious or typical radiation accidents and incidents. Their causes and backgrounds, what happened, how to confronted them, what has been changed, what kind of problems are still remained, and what should be done in the future, will be presented. Moreover we will discuss the challenge to manage it more substantial in the radiation control and management.

OP-5 Radioactive Waste Management
　　　This session will discuss mainly serious or typical radiation accidents and incidents. Their causes and backgrounds, what happened, how to confronted them, what has been changed, what kind of problems are still remained, and what should be done in the future, will be presented. Moreover we will discuss the challenge to manage it more substantial in the radiation control and management.
Session Program

OP-6 NORM/TENORM
　　　This session will discuss how to manage NORM/TENORM effectively. Each country’s present regulation and problems, and direction and plan to solve them.
Session Program

OP-7 Dosimetry
　　　This session discusses numerical dosimetry for external/internal irradiation based on ICRP Committee-2, and related activities including high-energy dosimetry, internal
dose calculation models, etc.
Session Program

OP-8 Standard, Criteria and Regulation
　　　ICRP published new basic recommendation of radiation protection in 2007, as ICRP Publication 103. IAEA revises Basic Safety Standard with receive this, This session introduce the latest information about the reviews of standard, criteria and regulation in Asian Oceania countries with these movements and will discuss about a problem in the future radiation protection.
Session Program

27(Thu) 10:30-12:15
OP-9 Exposure to Medical Radiation
　　　This session discusses radiation protection including measurements, dosimetry and optimization. Problems in medical fields will be presented and discussed to be solved.
Session Program

OP-10 Health Effects of Ionizing Radiation
　　　This session will discuss the evidence relating to health effects of low dose radiation. Although a major subject is carcinogenesis, non-cancer effects are also addressed.
Furthermore, one of the most challenging issues to radiation protection, the attributability of health effects due to radiation exposure will be discussed.
Session Program

OP-11 Environmental Radioactivity
　　　This session includes the topics on the behavior of radionuclides in the environment, transfer model, environmental protection for present and future. The topics especially focused on over Asia and Oceania regions, where nuclear reactors and facilities are expanded, will be discussed.
Session Program

OP-12 Radiological Protection as Part of the Global Nuclear Expansion
　　　To share informative knowledge on radiological protection in nuclear advanced countries taking into consideration active plans to newly construct NPPs in Asian countries
