Abstract	Recommendations to the Protection of People Living in Long-term Contaminated Areas after a Nuclear Accident or a Radiation Emergency. ICRP is a registered charity that relies on the sale of publications to help support its ongoing work. However, the cost-free release of this publication is a gesture to aid the Japanese people in recovering from the recent earthquake, tsunami, and accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Our thoughts are with those in Japan dealing with the aftermath of these tragic events, and we regret that the recommendations of ICRP Publication 111 need to be put into active use so soon after having been published. This special free release of ICRP Publication 111 is dedicated to those in Japan who have lost so very much. Aims and Scope The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is the primary body in protection against ionising radiation. ICRP is a registered charity and is thus an independent non-governmental organisation created by the 1928 International Congress of Radiology to advance for the public benefit the science of radiological protection. The ICRP provides recommendations and guidance on protection against the risks associated with ionising radiation, from artificial sources widely used in medicine, general industry and nuclear enterprises, and from naturally occurring sources. These reports and recommendations are published approximately four times each year on behalf of the ICRP as the journal Annals of the ICRP. Each issue provides in-depth coverage of a specific subject area. Subscribers to the journal receive each new report as soon as it appears so that they are kept up to date on the latest developments in this important field. While many subscribers prefer to acquire a complete set of ICRP reports and recommendations, single issues of the journal are also available separately for those individuals and organizations needing a single report covering their own field of interest. Please order through your bookseller, subscription agent, or direct from the publisher. ICRP is composed of a Main Commission, a Scientific Secretariat, and five standing Committees on: radiation effects, doses from radiation exposure, protection in medicine, the application of ICRP recommendations, and protection of the environment. The Main Commission consists of a Chair and twelve other members. Committees typically comprise 10–15 members. Biologists and medical doctors dominate the current membership; physicists are also well represented. ICRP uses Working Parties to develop ideas and Task Groups to prepare its reports. A Task Group …
