 note = {With the advent of an era of low birthrate and prolonged longevity, concerns about the safety of fetuses and children have been growing. Programs to protect the health of fetuses and children from toxic agents are being instituted, particularly in the USA and Europe. These regulations are mainly directed at foodstuffs and chemicals. Recently, a progressive increase in medical uses of radiation for children has forced ICRP, IAEA and WHO to draft global initiatives on radiation protection of children.  This group carries out studies to provide information on the risk of carcinogenesis due to radiation exposure during fetal and childhood periods, for which there are at present insufficient data. Using animal models, we study the effects of radiation exposure on lifespan shortening and cancer induction.  Final goals of our research group are (1) to propose age-weighting factors and relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of heavy ions and neutrons for fetuses and children for radiation protection and (2) to clarify the biological basis of the susceptibility to radiation of fetal and infant tissues. We introduce here the whole picture of our research program, and describe the age dependence of lifespan shortening by gamma-irradiation in B6C3F1 mice, and unique response of infant tissues to radiation., International scientific conference on early exposure and childhood cancer},
