Abstract: An overview of Ordinance on Prevention of Ionizing Radiation Hazards at Works to Decontaminate Soil and Wastes Contaminated by Radioactive Materials Resulting from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Related Works presented, along with the relevant guidelines. Their implementation in Fukushima Prefecture in the year of 2013 is also summarized. It seems that efforts of Japan to cope with radiation protection of remediation workers in contaminated areas off-site are far from having been turned into good practices.
