Yoshizawa, Michio  ; Suzuki, Takashi; Noguchi, Masayasu*

It was decided to revise the book of "Actual Radiation Safety Management", which has been used as a main text for the radiation protection supervisors, in order to reflect the latest amendment of the Radiation Hazards Prevention Act. Then, we revised Chapter 2 "Radiation measurement" and Chapter 3 "Measurement and estimation of exposed dose" of the book, which were the writing parts of the current version, so as to incorporate the most up-to-date information. Main subjects of these revises were the change of radiation and tissue weighting factors in the 2007 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), update of the information about survey meters and personal dosimeters, clarification of sentences and so on.
