The NATO HFM 291 research task group (RTG) on "Ionizing Radiation Bioeffects and Countermeasures" represents a group of scientists from military and civilian academic and scientific institutions primarily working in the field of radiobiology. Among other tasks, the RTG intends to extend their work on risk estimation and communication to bridge the gap in appropriate judgment of health risks given a certain radiation exposure. The group has no explicit psychological background but an expertise in radiobiology and risk assessment. The group believes that, as one of the essential first steps in risk communication, it is required to put radiation risk into perspective. Radiation risk requires a weight in comparison to already-known risks. What we envision is to Compare Radiation exposure-associated health Risks (CRRis App) with daily life health risks caused by other common exposures such as cigarette smoking, driving a car, etc. Within this paper, we provide (1) an overview of health risks after radiation exposure, (2) an explanation of the task and concept of an envisioned CRRis App, (3) an overview of existing software tools related to this issue, (4) a summary of inputs and discussions with experts in the field of radiation protection and risk communication during the ConRad conference, and finally, (5) identification of the next steps in the development of the App.

将辐射暴露和相关的健康风险纳入应用程序的开发视角。

关于“电离辐射生物效应和对策”的北约HFM 291研究任务组（RTG）代表了主要在放射生物学领域工作的军事和民用学术和科学机构的一组科学家。在其他任务中，RTG打算扩展其在风险估计和沟通方面的工作，以弥合在特定辐射暴露下对健康风险的适当判断中的差距。该小组没有明确的心理背景，但是在放射生物学和风险评估方面具有专长。该小组认为，作为风险交流中必不可少的第一步，有必要将辐射风险纳入视野。与已知风险相比，辐射风险需要权衡。
