The lab approaches radiation safety and risk through both the natural sciences and the social sciences.
AboutAbout the lab
Radiation, and how society lives with it
The Iimoto Lab studies environmental safety and risk management related to radiation, with "radiation (radioactivity)" and "radiological protection" as its keywords.
People encounter radiation in many settings: natural radiation that has existed since ancient times, artificial radiation used in medicine and industry, radioactive waste, and environments contaminated by nuclear power plant accidents.
The lab takes on the issues surrounding these radiation environments from both the natural sciences and the social sciences.
Research themes are chosen in line with trends at international organizations and with the issues and needs of regulatory science in Japan.
Key terms
- Radiological protection
- Concepts and methods for preventing harm to people and the environment from radiation exposure and for keeping exposure at appropriate levels
- Risk communication
- The exchange of information and opinions between experts and citizens, among others, about the magnitude of a hazard and the measures to address it
- Regulatory science
- The science of evaluating and applying scientific knowledge in order to set safety standards and regulations
ResearchResearch themes
The radiation environment is a typical example of a topic that extends to the entire environmental system, including people and society. The lab investigates issues of safety and risk management related to radiation environments from both the natural sciences and the social sciences.
