The results of this study, suggest public communication to promote the use of radiation as follows: first, suitable information for the recipient's perception patterns should be provided, as there is a difference in risk perception and acceptance between the experts and the public. Thus, information on the necessity of nuclear power should be provided to the public, while information based on technical risks is provided by the experts. Second, since the levels of perception, knowledge, and attitudes increased highly for sectors which use radiation after the class, classes should be provided continuously to increase students' perception, knowledge, and attitude, which are all preemptive variables which induce positive behavioral changes. Third, since the seven sectors which use radiation are highly correlated, arguments for the necessity of other sectors should be based on the necessity of the medical sector.

RI-Biomics technology is advanced convergence technologies that can be measured in real time and track in vivo behavior and metabolism of substances using characteristics of the radioactive isotope. Its application fields are increasing such as drug development, agriculture, development of new materials and their utilization, etc. In addition, according to domestic and international developments and changes in the RI-Biomics environment, RI-Biomics professionals are needed to train continuously. To develop systematic human resources basement and competency-based curriculum, we perform competency modeling of pedagogical perspective to targeted at high-performance on RI-Biomics. Furthermore, we redefine the competency model and verified by industry experts with focus group interviews. In the result, two general competencies and three professional competencies were extracted by interview. Each competencies are organized six sub-competencies and nine sub-competencies. In the finial steps, the same procedures were repeated to obtain the consensus of experts on derived competencies and behavioral objectives. The results of the study are applicable to enhance human resource management and to develop the curriculum for RI-Biomics expert training. It is expected to be used as reference material of long term-planning for RI-Biomics professional.

Background: From 2018 to 2020, the Expert Study on Public Understanding after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident (the Expert Study Group) identified and analyzed activities designed to promote public understanding of science and radiation since the Fukushima accident, and held discussions on how to achieve public understanding in the situation where public confidence has been lost, and how experts should prepare for dealing with the public. This panel session was held at the 53^rd meeting of the Japan Health Physics Society on June 30, 2020. Materials and Methods: First, three subgroup (SG) leaders reported their research methods and results. Then, two designated speakers, who participated as observers of the Expert Study Group, commented on the activities. Next, the five speakers held a panel discussion. Finally, the rapporteur summarized. Results and Discussion: SG leaders presented reports from researchers and practitioners in health physics and environmental risks who provided information after the Fukushima accident. During the discussion, experts in sociology and ethics discussed the issues, focusing on the overall goals of the three groups, local (personal) and mass communication, and ethical values. Many of the activities instituted by the experts after the accident were aimed at public understanding of science (that is, to provide knowledge to residents), but by taking into account interactions with residents and their ethical norms, the experts shifted to supporting the residents' decision-making through public engagement. The need to consider both content and channels is well known in the field of health communication, and overlaps with the above discussion. Conclusion: How to implement and promote the public engagement in society was discussed in both the floor and designated discussions. Cooperation between local communities and organizations that have already gained trust is also necessary in order to develop relationships with local residents in normal times, to establish an information transmission system, and to make it work effectively.

A new radiation scale is proposed. With empathy toward the vast majority of people who are not well versed in radiation and related matters, and thus suffering from misunderstanding that breeds unnecessary fear of radiation, the aim of proposing a new radiation scale, radiation index (RAIN), is to put the general public at ease with the concept of radiation. RAIN is defined in dimensionless numbers that relate any specific radiation dose to a properly defined reference level. As RAIN is expressed in plain numbers without an attached scientific unit, the public will feel comfortable with its friendly look, which in turn should help them understand radiation dose levels easily and allay their anxieties about radiation. The expanded awareness and proper understanding of radiation will empower the public to feel that they are not hopeless victims of radiation. The correspondence between RAIN and the specific accumulated dose is established. The equivalence will allow RAIN to serve as a common language of communication for the general public with which they can converse with radiation experts to discuss matters related to radiation safety, radiation diagnosis and therapy, nuclear accidents, and other related matters. Such fruitful dialogues will ultimately enhance public acceptance of radiation and associated technologies.

Background: Radiation accidents having occurred in recent containing the accident in Fukushima nuclear power plants of Japan were resulted to the increase in some public concern, anxiety and confusion for radiation or nuclear safety. The public anxiety for radiation is not being decreased though the announcements done in radiation research institutes in Korea. Therefore, this study aims at providing an effective system for radiation publicity to the public members by the clipping analysis for the radiation articles reported in the media. And, the relation between those radiation issues and the radiation perception to the public members is analyzed. Materials and Methods: The radiation articles reported by them in 2013 and 2014 have been collected, and they are then classified with the article characteristic, field and tendency. Classified articles have been reviewed by dividing as two year. The 210 articles have been compared for their tendencies, characteristics and fields by year reported, and their characteristic comparison by reported year are then reviewed. Results and Discussion: Though the frequency that the radiological accidents have occurred in worldwide is far low compared to the accidental frequencies occurred in the general industrial fields, the radiation perception is being still deteriorated because of its special problem, which is defined as exposure, contamination or radioactivity, about radiation. The basic principles for radiation communication were suggested for preventing some unnecessary misunderstanding due to the variation of understanding for radiation issues. Conclusion: It is necessary to perform a variety of strategies for the publicity in improving the radiation perception, to build a relationship with the press or the media and then to consistently interact with them. Radiation communication must be performed by radiation experts or complete charge department, and must be consistently performed and be taken predictable patterns.

국내 원자력 방사선 산업의 높은 성장과 전문 인력 수요의 증가는 기술 발전 단계관점에서 기술 공학자 혹은 중간기술자의 수요 확대를 가져왔다. 그러나 원자력 방사선 기술의 발전과 이용에 비해 전문인력 양성 교육기관은 빈약한 실정이다. 산업체에서 가장 필요로 하는 인력은 초중급 기술인력으로 이들을 양성할 교육기관이 필요하며 이들의 교육 수요를 만족시켜줄 가장 유리한 교육기관은 전문대학이라 하겠다. 따라서 현재 의료분야로 편중된 우리나라의 전문대학방사선과 교육과정을 산업체에서도 필요로 하는 교육과정을 개발하고자 한다. 연구개발의 내용과 그 범위는 크게 4가지로 구분하여 연구를 수행하였다. 첫 번째, 교육과정 시행의 대상인 방사선 산업체 관련 인력환경 기초 조사를 시행하였으며, 이를 위해 세부 시행 업무로서 국내의 방사선 산업체 종사자, 전문대학 방사선과 재학생과 교수를 대상으로 설문조사 및 분석을 하였다. 두 번째, 교육과정 개발에 필요한 기초 자료로서 국내외 방사선 관련 대학들의 사례를 통해 교육과정을 분석하였다. 또 이를 위해 국내, 일본, 미국의 방사선 관련 대학의 교육과정을 조사 및 분석하였다. 세 번째, 방사선 산업에 필요한 기초 과학 교과목과 방사선 전공 교과목을 개발하였다. 이 과정에서는 미국과 한국의 공학교육 인증원에서 제안하고 있는 원자력, 방사선 관련 교육 프로그램 지침을 참고로 하였다. 네 번째로 정규 교육과정에 필요한 교과목 즉 선택형 교과목을 개발하였는데, 여기에는 교과목 운영에 필요한 교육과정 개발과 정규 교육과정 이외의 심화과정 및 부전공제 운영 모델의 개발이 포함되었다. 연구의 핵심 결과는 방사선 산업체 업무 분야에 적합한 선택형 세부 교육과정을 제안하였는데, 각 대학의 특성과 교육 목표에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 첫 번째는 업무분야별 세부교육과정으로, 방사선 이용분야에 적합한 교과목과 방사선 안전관리 분야에 적합한 교과목을, 두 번째로 업체 유형별 세부교육과정으로 제조업체에 필요한 교과목, 비파괴검사업체에서 필요한 교과목, 판매기관에서 필요한 교과목, 그리고 연구소에서 필요한 교과목을 선정하였다. 또한 이러한 교과목을 시행하기 위하여 교과과정 2가지 운영 모델을 제안하였는데, 첫째는 현재 전문대학 방사선과 3년 과정에서 의료분야 전공과 산업분야전공 별로 전공제를 실시하는 방법과 둘째로, 전문대학을 졸업 후 심화과정(1년 과정)에서 산업방사선을 전공하도록 하는 방법이다. 운영모델을 좀더 효과적으로 운영하기 위해서는 보다 심도 있는 학제 연구와 더불어 교재의 개발이 전제되어야 하며, 교과운영에 필요한 교수인력, 실습공간, 기자재 등의 재정의 확보 역시 해결되어야 할 문제이다.

Radiation technology is the one for developing new products or processes by applying radiation or for creating new functions in industry, research and medical fields, and its application is increasing consistently. For securing an advanced technology competitiveness, it is required to create a new added value by information consumer through providing an efficient system for supporting information, which is the infrastructure for research and development, contributed to its collection, analysis and use with a rapidity and structure in addition to some direct research and development. Provision of the management structure for information resources is especially crucial for efficient operating the system for supporting information in radiation technology, and then a standard classification structure of information must be first developed as the system for supporting information will be constructed. The standard classification structure has been analyzed by reviewing the definition of information resources in radiation technology, and those classification structures in similar systems operated by institute in radiation and other scientific fields. And, a draft version of the standard classification structure has been then provided as 7 large, 25 medium and 71 small classifications, respectively. The standard classification structure in radiation technology will be developed in 2015 through reviewing this draft version and experts' opinion. Finally, developed classification structure will be applied to the system for supporting information by considering the plan for constructing this system and database, and requirements for designing the system. Furthermore, this structure will be designed in the system for searching information by working to the individual need of information consumers.
