The Radiation Effects Research Foundation is the scientific research institution focused on the study of health effects of radiation in the survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Careful analysis of the accurately recorded cancer incidence and mortality data for the large study population is contributing fundamental risk information for radiation protection standards worldwide. Routine clinical examinations provide further health observations and contribute to the well-being of the participants. RERF is a binational organization supported by the governments of Japan and the United States, but it welcomes scientists from all countries to participate in its epidemiological and radiobiological studies. RERF's research is conducted for peaceful purposes to understand the health effects of radiation for the benefit of all people.
RERF's two laboratories in Hiroshima and Nagasaki use advanced scientific methods in clinical medicine, epidemiology, genetics, molecular biology, statistics and computer science to determine the effects of radiation exposure in the survivors and their offspring in relation to the radiation dose received. Our work is wholly dependent upon the voluntary cooperation of the atomic-bomb survivors and is driven in great measure by concern for their welfare. Thus, RERF has relationships with and obligations to many local organizations in both cities as well as to the governments of Japan and the United States. With almost all of the younger-exposed individuals and about 40% of the total population still alive, it is important to continue the study for some further decades. We wish to continue the fundamental radiobiological studies utilizing the unique resources of RERF for as long as needed to provide understanding of radiation effects for the benefit of all people. There are commitments from both supporting governments to achieve our goals.
We hope that the RERF World Wide Web site will provide adequate introduction to our work and keep our collaborators, supporters and other interested persons updated on current activities.
