The main research areas

  • Health effects of radiation: risks of low doses, internal exposure and non-ionizing radiation, non-targeted effects, mechanisms of carcinogenesis and biological dosimetry.
  • Exposure of Finns to natural radioactivity: radon surveys and mitigation.
  • Preparedness for nuclear and radiation accidents: developing methods to protect and restrict the harms of radioactive fallout, and to follow and predict the radiation situation.
  • Research support: safe medical use of radiation.
  • Radiation detection methods and dosimetry.
