1 Consultancy Meeting on Science, Technology and Society Perspectives on Nuclear Science, Radiation and Human Health Hiroshima 2017 EU project on development of health surveillance procedures OPERRA / SHAMISEN Brief overview Koichi Tanigawa, Fukushima Medical University On behalf of Elisabeth Cardis (ISGlobal)

2 Concept & Main Objectives To build up an umbrella coordination structure that has the capacity in a legal and logistical sense to administer future calls for research in radiation protection on behalf of the European Commission The MELODI Association will take the lead with the support of sister structures as equal partners (e.g. Alliance, NERIS, EURADOS, EURAMET, EUTERP, etc.)

3 Role of SHAMISEN

4 OPERRA Call for Proposals 2014

5 SHAMISEN Nuclear Emergency Situations - Improvement of Medical And Health Surveillance Build upon lessons learned from experiences of populations affected by Chernobyl, Fukushima and other radiation accidents To develop recommendations for medical and health surveillance of populations affected by previous and future radiation accidents.

6 Radiation accidents Chernobyl, Fukushima 6 years since Fukushima and 31 years since Chernobyl. Clear indications that not only radiation but accidents, remediation actions and health surveillance have an impact on health: Social and psychological impact in affected populations Relocation loss of home, social relations, work, control on one s life Uncertainties: health effects / conflicting information??? Contamination levels of milk, food, water, outside Health

7 Expected outcome Recommendations for health surveillance and medical follow-up of affected populations, with particular attention to: Dose assessment supporting emergency response, including evacuation clinical decision making in the aftermath and long-term follow-up of populations; Improvement of living conditions of affected populations, responding to their needs and engaging them in surveillance programmes while avoiding generation of unnecessary anxiety;

8 Expected outcome If and where feasible (in particular in Chernobyl), improvement of estimates of radiation-induced risk for radiation protection and for communication with affected populations,
