Background: In Japan, new regulations that revise the dose limit for the lens of the eye (the lens), operational quantities, and measurement positions for the lens dose were enforced in April 2021. Based on the international safety standards, national guidelines, the results of the Radiation Safety Research Promotion Fund of the Nuclear Regulatory Authority, and other studies, the Working Group of Radiation Protection Standardization Committee, the Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS) developed a guideline for radiation dose monitoring for the lens. Materials and Methods: The Working Group of the JHPS discussed the criteria of non-uniform exposure and the management criteria set to not exceed the dose limit for the lens. Results and Discussion: In July 2020, the JHPS guideline was published. The guideline consists of three parts: main text, explanations, and 26 questions. In the questions, the corresponding answers were prepared, and specific examples were provided to enable similar cases to be addressed. Conclusion: With the development of guideline on radiation dose monitoring of the lens, radiation managers and workers will be able to smoothly comply with revised regulations and optimise radiation protection.

Two proposal notes were written by the Japan Health Physics Society in terms of the issues on radiation protection considering the arguments in many academic symposiums after the accident in TEPCO Fukushima-Daiichi NPP resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. These proposal notes were referred in some symposiums, and the follow-up activities are needed for collecting the chronological information after the Fukushima accident and for considering these proposal matter in detail. After the proposal notes were published, quite many activities for radiation protection were performed. In this professional workshop, the chronological information was collected and easily evaluated concerning with the proposal. In this presentation, the outcome was introduced.
