Both aircrafts were destroyed in the air. Four thermonuclear weapons\, 11 men (four survived)\, and hundreds of tons of debris fell to earth in and around the town. Two weapons landed without incident\, and both were recovered undamaged. But the parachutes of the other two weapons failed to deploy\, and the high explosives in these last two weapons detonated and burned\, causing some of the plutonium inside to also burn spreading plutonium contamination throughout the area. Plutonium particulate contamination was distributed in varying degrees over a 2.26 km2 area including the northern edge of the village\, farmlands and non-cultivated terrain. \nThe seminar will describe the accident and the recovery operations\, with the initial land decontamination\, and the long-term follow-up with a Radiological Surveillance Programme (RSP)\, including the affected population. It will also present the more recent characterization of the contamination distribution\, the currently condemned areas and plans for a total restoration of the affected sites\, with the adopted radiological criteria. The interaction with the affected communities\, the local and regional authorities\, as well as with other stakeholders are also commented.

From 2011 to 2019\, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) continuously organised the Fukushima Dialogue meetings in Fukushima. Since 2019\, the organisation of the Dialogues has been taken over by the non-profit organisation Fukushima Dialogue\, which was established by participants in Fukushima. \nThe main aim of this initiative was to establish a dialogue between experts and stakeholders in affected areas to identify the problems and the challenges they are confronted with and to express their expectations\, particularly as regard the human dimension affected by the accident. These dialogues have significantly contributed to the development of the co-expertise process of the recovery of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. As time has passed\, radiation levels have gradually decreased\, daily life has regained a degree of stability\, and protective measures have become routine. At the same time\, however\, evacuation zones still remain\, severe population decline persists\, and there are areas where radiation levels are relatively high. The impacts of the accident therefore continue to be strongly felt. In addition\, new challenges have emerged in the course of the recovery process itself. \nThis webinar aims to share the current situation in Fukushima fifteen years after the nuclear accident\, as well as expectation and challenges for the future\, through testimonies from residents.

While AI has demonstrated considerable effectiveness in perception-based tasks—such as processing data\, images\, patterns\, and speech—its deployment in nuclear safety applications presents significant challenges. In particular\, the data-driven and often opaque “black box” nature of conventional AI systems limits their ability to provide transparent\, auditable rationales for their outputs. This lack of explainability raises regulatory and industry concerns\, as it may introduce unknown or unacceptable safety risks if AI-generated recommendations are implemented without sufficient understanding or validation. \nTo address these challenges\, an emerging field of research is focused on the development of Explainable and Physics-Informed Artificial Intelligence. In this approach\, AI models are explicitly constrained and guided by the Laws of Physics\, system dynamics\, and governing equations embedded directly within the neural network architecture. This paradigm supports the development of trustworthy AI systems that are capable of delivering accurate\, rapid\, robust\, and interpretable solutions while remaining consistent with established physical principles. \nThis presentation will describe the methodology and challenges associated with training AI systems to recognise\, respect\, and enforce physical laws when formulating predictions and decisions. It will demonstrate how Physics-Informed AI can transform radiation protection by ensuring that AI outputs remain physically plausible and scientifically defensible\, thereby improving accuracy\, reliability\, and interpretability in complex and safety-critical environments. Finally\, emerging applications across nuclear and environmental safety\, as well as medical physics\, will be discussed\, highlighting the potential of this approach to support regulatory acceptance and operational deployment.

Attendees will have an opportunity to participate through a moderated Q&A session.  \nParticipants who attend at least 50% of the workshop will receive a Certificate of Attendance via email within 48 hours of the event. \n\nPublication Abstract\nThis publication provides an update of the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection for application of the fundamental radiological protection principles for the disposal of radioactive waste in a surface and near-surface disposal facility. The goal of a surface and near-surface disposal system is to provide protection of humans and the environment from the hazards associated with the radioactive waste suitable to the prevailing circumstances. Application of the ICRP System of Radiological Protection for a surface and near-surface disposal facility includes justification of the practice generating the waste\, and is considered in the context of a planned exposure situation. The design basis for the facility considers the potential for exposures to humans and the environment associated with its expected evolution\, taking into account reasonably foreseeable faults. Optimisation of protection is an iterative\, systematic\, and transparent evaluation of protective options to reduce the impacts to humans and the environment. Optimisation is essential throughout all life phases\, and is of particular importance in the design phase\, as this will determine the performance of the facility in the operational and post-closure phases. To deal with the distant future and low-probability scenarios\, optimisation has to be complemented by aspects such as robustness\, defence in depth\, etc. to provide assurance that reasonable steps have been taken to maintain the long-term integrity of the facility. In the case of severe natural disruptive events or human intrusion beyond the design basis\, application of the ICRP System of Radiological Protection should be considered with reference to existing exposure situations. Due to the nature of the hazards and associated time scales\, the fundamental strategy adopted for the disposal of low- and very-low-level radioactive waste is: to contain and isolate the waste until the short-lived radionuclides have decayed to levels that can no longer give rise to significant exposures; and to limit the activity content of longer-lived radionuclides to ensure that doses and risk are also limited in the long term\, when containment and isolation capacities may be diminishing. The successful implementation of this strategy is demonstrated through a structured safety case. The specific options for a surface and near- surface disposal facility will depend upon the particular situation\, including the nature of the waste\, the local physical environment\, and the societal context. Dialogue between the operator\, regulator\, and stakeholders should be established as early as possible in the process\, with the inclusion of ethical values to help contribute to promoting a shared understanding of the application of the ICRP System of Radiological Protection. \n  URL:https://bvsabr.be/event/icrp-webinar-radiological-protection-in-surface-and-near-surface-disposal-of-solid-radioactive-waste/ LOCATION:Venue to be determined\, Belgium CATEGORIES:ICRP END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Helsinki:20260320T091500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Helsinki:20260320T163000 DTSTAMP:20260418T233637 CREATED:20250711T061218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260325T194817Z UID:10000113-1773998100-1774024200@bvsabr.be SUMMARY:RadioACT! 2025-2026 final event DESCRIPTION:Final event related to the RadioACT! science contest for secundary schools\, where the finalists will present their work. \nBVS-ABR members are most welcome to participate in this event. \nPreliminary programme \n09h15 Accueil – onthaal \n09h45 Introduction et 7 vidéos – Inleiding en 7 video’s \n10h45 Pause \n11h15 Keynote speech par/door Jan Jagers (deCheckers) \n‘Entre faits et fiction – De la force du doute sans cynisme \n‘Tussen Feit en Fictie – Over de kracht van twijfelen zonder cynisme’  Remise/uitreiking Award best media coverage \n12h00 Presentation des vidéos du top 10 – presentatie top 10 video’s \n12h30 Lunch \n13h30 Presentation des vidéos du top 10 (suite) – presentatie top 10 video’s (vervolg) \n15h30 Pause \n16h00 Remise/uitreiking Award ceremony ‘Best video’ \n16h30 Wrap-up & boisson de clôture – afsluitende drink \n View all results on https://bvsabr.be/radioact2026-en/  \nDes prix seront décernés pour les– ‘Best media coverage’ (1 gagnant parmi toutes les participations)– ‘Best movie’ (top 3 des 10 candidatures présélectionnées) \nEr worden awards uitgereikt voor de– ‘Best media coverage’ (1 winnaar van alle inzendingen)– ‘Best movie’ (top 3 van de 10 vooraf geselecteerde inzendingen) URL:https://bvsabr.be/event/radioact-2025-2026-final-event/ LOCATION:Paleis der Academiën – Palais des Académies\, Hertogsstraat 1\, Brussel\, 1000\, Belgium CATEGORIES:BVS-ABR ORGANIZER;CN="BVS-ABR":MAILTO:office@bvsabr.be END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260324T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260325T170000 DTSTAMP:20260418T233637 CREATED:20251205T083455Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T083455Z UID:10000124-1774339200-1774458000@bvsabr.be SUMMARY:SFRP Journées techniques: Tritium & environnement DESCRIPTION:Après la publication du Livre Blanc « Tritium » en 2010\, qui faisait notamment le point sur ses impacts environnementaux et sanitaires\, le tritium revient aujourd’hui au cœur des débats\, porté par la relance annoncée du nucléaire.

This webinar explores the suite of radiation protection options\, driven by innovations that prioritize operator safety and ergonomics. We will examine the efficacy of modern\, non-wearable solutions\, including ceiling-suspended shielding systems\, radiation protection cabins\, and robotic-assisted platforms that remove the operator from the radiation field entirely. Additionally\, we will discuss the role of lightweight\, lead-alternative composite materials and radiation protection culture. The session will conclude by comparing these technologies\, highlighting how combining various types of protection is creating a safer\, more sustainable career path for interventional specialists. \nLearning Objectives \nAfter following this webinar\, participants will be able to \nDescribe the Occupational Risks: Articulate the primary ergonomic and health hazards\, specifically orthopaedic injuries\, associated with the long-term use of traditional lead aprons in interventional labs. \nIdentify Key Technologies: Identify and differentiate between the major categories of modern radiation protection technologies\, including lead-alternative composite materials\, structural shielding systems (suspended and cabin-based)\, and robotic-assisted platforms. \nExplain Protective Mechanisms: Explain the mechanism of action for non-wearable shielding systems and how they effectively reduce operator radiation dose without imposing physical strain. \nCompare and Contrast Solutions: Compare the advantages and disadvantages of various “lead-free” solutions\, considering factors such as radiation protection efficacy\, operator mobility\, capital cost\, and impact on procedural workflow. \nEvaluate for Implementation: Evaluate the critical factors a clinical department should consider when developing a strategy to improve radiation protection\, ensuring a comprehensive approach to radiation safety. \n  \nAnnouncement flyer \nRegistration \n  URL:https://bvsabr.be/event/irpa-refresher-webinar-the-evolution-of-shielding/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:IRPA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260416T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260416T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T233637 CREATED:20260205T130933Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T130933Z UID:10000136-1776340800-1776344400@bvsabr.be SUMMARY:SRP webinar: New Clearance and Exemption Guidance DESCRIPTION:Free SRP Webinar:  \nNew Clearance and Exemption Guidance\n16 April 2026 12:00 – 13:00 (BST) \n\n\nIn 2023 the IAEA published two new guidance documents\, one on Clearance and one on Exemption. These documents explain the application of the principles of exemption and clearance in more detail. They also give guidance on the derivation of exemption and clearance levels for specific situations\, for example surface contaminated objects. Importantly\, they do not change the general exemption and clearance levels which are specified in the 2014 IAEA Basic Safety Standards and the 2013 EC Basic Safety Standards. IAEA is currently developing a methodology for calculating specific clearance levels for different materials e.g.\, for metals for recycling\, for concrete for recycling\, for combustibles for incineration\, and for landfill disposal of contaminated slags and dust. Specific clearance is an important concept that directly supports a sustainable approach to decommissioning and clean-up. \nThis webinar describes the key concepts of exemption and clearance and the new IAEA guidance\, highlighting any implications for UK.

There is a significant potential to avoid radiation doses and reduce costs by considering radiation protection early in the design phase. A correct design process will lead to an optimized protecting of workers\, the public and the environment while fostering innovation. \nAs we are at a crossroads in the nuclear field where we see new developments of nuclear applications for energy production\, medical applications and research it is important to take stock of the experience gathered and to look how the ALARA principle can be applied practically in the design of new installations. \nAmong the new developments we see the rise of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)\, the development of advanced reactor technologies\, accelerators and next-generation facilities for medical applications from diagnostics and cancer treatment to meet the demands of a cleaner\, more sustainable future. \nThis workshop will bring together stakeholders from different fields to share experiences in implementing radiation protection in design and exchange ideas for further improvement. Whether we’re building reactors for power generation\, facilities for producing medical isotopes or research centers for cutting-edge innovations\, our shared goal remains the same: to ensure the safety and well-being of people and the environment. \nDuring the workshop we will: \n1. Examine the radiation protection challenges and opportunities in designing SMRs\, advanced reactors\, accelerators and facilities for the production of medical isotopes.\n2. Explore innovative strategies to embed the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle into design processes\, balancing technical feasibility\, economic considerations and societal expectations.\n3. Discuss case studies from new and existing installations\, highlighting best practices\, lessons learned and emerging solutions.\n4. Foster collaboration among experts from diverse fields\, including energy\, healthcare and research\, to ensure our efforts are aligned and impactful. \nBy the end of this workshop we will be equipped with actionable insights and inspired by the possibilities ahead. Whether we are revolutionizing energy systems\, advancing medical science or enabling future technologies\, radiation protection and the ALARA principle remain a cornerstone of our progress. \nThe workshop will take place in Tabloo (Dessel\, Belgium) from 22 to 24 April 2026.
