Areas and Topics

The 12 Areas and associated sub Topics broadly follow the ICRP structure of Planned, Existing and Emergency Exposure Situations, although we have also responded to circumstances by adding a specific Area covering all aspects of the Fukushima accident. Exposure of workers, the public and patients are all included under the relevant topic heading.
