This paper firstly analyzed the distribution of nuclear technology application units and the radiation environmental situation in Shanghai. On this basis, several methods including literature review, consultation from experts and experience analysis were adopted to identify and assess ionizing radiation risk in Shanghai. The results indicated that we should pay more attention to radiation accident and nuclear terrorism, as well as the accidents of radioactive sources lost/stolen which were the most serious one among 18 kinds of radiation risk. Furthermore, hazards of nuclear and radiological emergencies were discussed and relative countermeasures were put forward in the end.
