Abstract

This review is based on articles published in <italic>Japanese Journal of Health Physics</italic> on “Radiationexposed medical care and waste” related to Tokyo Electric Power Company Incorporated (TEPCO)’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident. Here, we have considered three original articles; one technical data, one special article, one 50^th anniversary article, one preface, three topics, and two cases of From Japan to the World (J to W). These articles have reported the system and standards that were established after the accident.
