FREDERICA RADIATION EFFECTS DATABASE

The FASSET project identified that a system to help summarise dose-effect relationships between radiation exposures and their effects on organisms was required and the FRED database was created. This database was extended, improved and made more user-friendly as part of the EC's sixth framework project ERICA and is now called FREDERICA. It contains 1509 references covering the literature from 1945 to 2004 and contains 29,400 data entries and is available for use on it's own or in conjunction with the ERICA assessment tool (where there is a live link to it) for undertaking risk assessments for the impact of ionising radiation on non-human species. It has also been used by the The EU EURATOM funded PROTECT project (FI6R-036425), UNSCEAR and others.

The FREDERICA radiation effects database is a available from: www.frederica-online.org
Please note that the site should be accessed using Internet Explorer only.

Title of paper
AbstractThis report is a supporting document to the online FREDERICA database providing a concise overview of functionality and recent developments. FREDERICA is now available by following the link on the www.erica-project.org website and following the online instructions. Any comments on the structure and functionality of FREDERICA should be submitted to Frederica@erica-project.org and we will endeavour to take them on board within time remaining for the ERICA project.
