TL;DR: In this article, established and emerging dosimetry methods are reviewed, which can be used immediately and retrospectively following external ionising radiation exposure, and individual characteristics of these techniques, their limitations and potential for further development are discussed, and their usefulness in specific exposure scenarios is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, an inter-laboratory slide-scoring exercise was performed among 34 laboratories from 21 countries with a total of 51 slide scorers involved, and the results of these studies indicate clearly that even after standardizing culture and scoring conditions it will be necessary to calibrate scorers and laboratories if MN, MNed cell and nucleoplasmic bridge frequencies are reliably compared among laboratories and among populations.

TL;DR: The ERICA Integrated Approach requires that a risk assessment screening dose rate is defined for the risk characterisation within Tiers 1 and 2, and the effects analysis must be driven by the problem formulation and is thus highly case specific.

TL;DR: RENEB will provide a mechanism for quick, efficient and reliable support within the European radiation emergency management and concurrently contribute to increased safety in the field of radiation protection.

TL;DR: The study confirmed that the PCC ring assay is suitable for use as a biodosimeter after whole-body exposure to high doses of radiation, however, there are limitations for its use in the triage of people exposed to high, partial-body doses.
