The 2012 ISOE Asian ALARA Symposium was held on September 24-25, 2012 at JNES in Tokyo, Japan, with attendance of 32 individuals from Japan, Korea (Rep.of), USA and France.

Approach to radiation safety and safety culture in the United States and exposure reduction activities in Korea were presented, and ISOE program was introduced from ISOE Secretariat and ISOE European Technical Center. From Tokyo Electric Power Company, were reported dose management of workers engaged in emergency work for response to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Among these presentations, "Los Alamos National Laboratory Developed Technology Proven Effective for Reducing Plant Radiation Levels in Light and Heavy Water Reactors" by Ms. Patricia J. Robinson ((n,p) Energy, Inc.) and Robert Hite (Cook Nuclear Plant, American Electric Power) was selected as a distinguished paper. In addition, a special award was given to the "The situation of individual dose management of the workers who engaged in emergency work in Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Accident" by Mr. Koichi Sumiyoshi (Tokyo Electric Power Company) to put the meaning of encouragement. The distinguished paper will be invited to be presented at the 2013 ISOE International ALARA Symposium in Japan.
