Uploaded by Marry

Compilation of anatomical, physiological, and metabolic characteristics for a reference Asian man, Volume 1, presents the data summary and conclusions from an IAEA coordinated research programme conducted under the RCA framework for Asia and the Pacific during 1988–1993. The work supplies population-relevant information for radiation protection guidance and limits by supporting secondary standards, biokinetic and dosimetric decision-making, and protection actions such as dietary controls. It includes an introduction, summarized measurements, model discussion, conclusions, recommendations, and annex information, referencing ICRP Publication 23 and detailing participating institutions and meetings.

Compilation ofanatomical,physiological andmetabolic characteristics for aReference Asian Man Volume 1:Data summary and conclusions Results of a co-ordinated research programme 1988-1993 The IAEA does not normally maintain stocks of reports in this series.However,microfiche copies of these reports can be obtained from INIS Clearinghouse International Atomic Energy AgencyWagramerstrasse 5P.O.Box 100A-1400 Vienna,Austria Orders should be accompanied by prepayment of Austrian Schillings 100,一in the form of a cheque or in the form of IAEA microfiche service couponswhich may be ordered separately from the INIS Clearinghouse. The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Radiation Safety SectionInternational Atomic Energy AgencyWagramer Strasse 5P.O.Box 100A-1400 Vienna,Austria COMPILATION OF ANATOMICAL,PHYSIOLOGICAL ANDMETABOLIC CHARACTERISTICS FOR A REFERENCE ASIAN MANVOLUME 1:DATA SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSIAEA,VIENNA,1998IAEA-TECDOC-1005ISSN 1011-4289 IAEA,1998 Printed by the IAEA in AustriaFebruary 1998 FOREWORD The Co-ordinated Research Programme(CRP)on Compilation of Anatomical,Physiological and Metabolic Characteristics for a Reference Asian Man has been conducted as aprogramme of the IAEA Regional Co-operative Agreement (RCA)for Asia and the Pacific.TheCRP was conducted to provide data for radiation protection purposes that is relevant to thebiokinetic and dosimetric characteristics of the ethnic populations in the Asian region.Theradiological protection decisions that had to be made in the RCA member States following theChernobyl accident were a significant motivation for establishing the CRP. Eleven RCA Member States participated in the CRP.Research co-ordination meetings (RCMs)for the CRP were held in Mito City,Japan,17-21 October 1988 and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre,India,8-12 April 1991.The concluding meeting was held in Tianjin,China, 25-29 October 1993. Funding for the RCM by the Government of Japan is gratefully acknowledged.TheIAEA wishes to thank S.Kobayashi for his efforts in support of the CRP.The IAEA extends itsappreciation to the Japanese National Institute of Radiological Sciences for acting as thetechnical secretariat to co-ordinate the work of data compilation.Specifically,the IAEAacknowledges the contributions of H.Kawamura,G.Tanaka and T.Koyanagi.Appreciation isalso extended to the National Institute of Radiological Sciences,Japan,the Bhabha AtomicResearch Centre,India,and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences for the valuablecontribution they made to the CRP as hosts for the RCMs. The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were A.Moiseev and R.V.Griffith ofthe Division of Radiation and Waste Safety. This publication is divided into two volumes:Volume 1 contains a summary of the dataand conclusions from the project and Volume 2 the reports from participating countries.

FAQs

What is the purpose of compiling anatomical, physiological, and metabolic characteristics in this volume?

The programme provides extensive population-specific data to support radiation protection guidance and limits, including secondary standards and actions such as dietary controls.

How is the publication organized across its two volumes?

Volume 1 summarizes the data and draws conclusions from the project, while Volume 2 contains reports from participating countries.

What kind of research meetings were held during the coordinated research programme?

Research coordination meetings were held in Mito City, Japan (1988) and at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India (1991), with a concluding meeting in Tianjin, China (1993).
