The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) had carried out the specially funded project of constructing a database "DRESA (Database for Radiation Exposure and Safety Assessment)" with an electronic text on safety assessment of low dose ionizing radiation. The contents and the database system were arranged and designed to provide the fundamental information/data for scientific and reasonable understanding of radiation health effects, radiation risk assessment and radiation protection. Present report explained the data title and its contents, data file formats and system structure of the database. Potentialities and difficulties in constructing WWW database were also discussed.
