SUMMARY:Joint NVS - BVS/ABR Scientific meeting on 'Nuclear power and radiation protection: past\, present and future'
DESCRIPTION:This Autumn Symposium\, organized by the NVS and the BVS-ABR\, will take place on Friday\, November 14\, 2025\, at the NBC in Nieuwegein (the Netherlands). This event can be attended online or in person at the same cost. In both cases\, a certificate of participation will be issued. \nIt promises to be an international symposium with speakers from Belgium\, the Netherlands\, Germany\, and the IAEA in Vienna. Entitled ‘Nuclear power and radiation protection: past\, present and future’\, we look back at the evolution of radiation protection policy and its application in nuclear energy\, including the impact of a nuclear power plant on the environment. Presentations are planned by the Dutch regulator ANVS\, the Belgian operator ENGIE\, and the Belgian partners IRE and SCK CEN. \nWe will also look ahead to new reactor types. On the one hand\, there are the so-called ‘Small Modular Reactors’ (SMRs)\, reactors with a relatively small unit size that are intended to be mass-produced in a factory. This can significantly reduce the construction time at the site. The presentations will also discuss other advantages and focus on specific radiation protection aspects. The morning session will conclude with another new development\, the molten salt reactor. This presentation will discuss the advantages/disadvantages of this type of reactor\, the effects on radiation protection\, and its status. \nThe afternoon session will shift the focus to the decommissioning of nuclear installations. The first presentation will examine the ins and outs of the decommissioning plan in more detail. This will be followed by a description of how a research reactor was decommissioned and the most important points that emerged from this process. The IAEA will then explore the clearance concept in more depth\, using a number of practical examples. \nAs the final step in the ‘Atomausstieg’\, the three remaining nuclear power plants in Germany have been decommissioned. This means that Germany has now built up a wealth of knowledge and experience with the clearance concept. The presentation on this topic will summarize the experiences to date. The final presentation of the symposium will be given by the mayor of the municipality of Borsele. This municipality has been named as one of the four sites for the construction of two new nuclear power plants in the Netherlands. The presentation will discuss the role of the mayor in the process. \nThe working language of the symposium is English. Consult the book of abstracts. \n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\nProgramme \n10h00 – Welcome and introduction (BVS-ABR – NVS) \n10h00-10h30 – 10 years of Dutch legislation in nuclear installations (Patrick Arends\, ANVS\, NL) \n10h30-11h00 – 10 years of operational radiation protection in a nuclear power plant (Laurens Raes\, Kerncentrale Doel\, BE) \n11h00-11h30 – Break \n11h30-12h00 – Environmental impact of nuclear power plants (Thomas Ost\, IRE\, BE) \n12h00-12h30 – Radiation protection in small modular reactors (SMR) (Riccardo Rossa\, UGent-SCK CEN\, BE) \n12h30-13h00 – Thorizon’s molten salt reactor (Sander de Groot\, Thorizon\, NL) \n13h00-14h00 – Lunch break \n14h00-14h30 – Decommissioning plans URENCO (Frank Tuenter\, URENCO\, NL) \n14h30-15h00 – Aspects of radiation protection in the dismantlement of the research reactor Thetis (Myriam Monsieurs\, UGent\, BE) \n15h00-15h30 – Break \n15h30-16h00 – Clearance: concept and international experience (Chantal Mommaert\, IAEA\, AT) \n16h00-16h30 – German experience with clearance (Thomas Pöhlsen\, TŰV Nord\, Germany) \n16h30-17h00 – Social participation and future perspectives (Gerben Dijksterhuis\, Gemeente Borsele\, NL) \n17h00 – Closure with a drink \n  \nPlease note that this event will also be streamed live.

SUMMARY:EUTEMPE Course Module 12: Occupational dosimetry in diagnostic and interventional radiology
DESCRIPTION:Can you plot the radiation field in a cath lab situation? Do you know how to assess the dose to the eye lens? Can you explain personnel dosimetry to a nurse? Do you know which dosemeter to choose in which clinical setting? \nThese questions\, and many more\, will be answered in the EUTEMPE-RX module MPE12. \nIn clinical workplaces\, personnel dosimetry legally needs to be applied to a target group that more often than not has little comprehension for its necessity or its correct application and works under conditions that significantly differ from lab conditions. Personnel dosimetry in clinical settings therefore offers three challenges: the dosimetry\, the personnel and the clinical setting. There are various approaches to deal with all of them and in the EUTEMPE-RX module MPE12 course you will get to know them. Say hello to your target group. Get a first-hand impression and insights into real-life clinical exposure situations and their specific challenges. Learn about the legal\, epidemiological and technical backgrounds of occupational dosimetry\, with a focus on high dose rate workplaces and their special characteristics. \nIn the onsite part of the Module in Braunschweig\, Germany\, you will design and conduct various experiments\, observe real life surgeries and visit the German National Metrology Institute. \nReduced registration fees (€ 400) are available upon request for the first 6 applicants of one of the following countries (with a maximum of 2 participants per country): Albania\, Belarus\, Bosnia Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Croatia\, Cyprus\, Czech Republic\, Estonia\, Greece\, Hungary\, Kosovo\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Macedonia\, Moldova\, Montenegro\, Poland\, Romania\, Russia\, Serbia\, Slovakia\, Slovenia\, Turkey\, Ukraine\, UN list of least developed countries. \nBraunschweig\, Germany\nStart online course: September 1\, 2025\nFace-to-face course: November 10\, 2025 – November 14\, 2025 \nInformation: s.wrede@skbs.de

SUMMARY:SFRP Journées techniques: Démantèlement des installations nucléaires
DESCRIPTION:La France abrite de nombreuses installations nucléaires qui ont été mises à l’arrêt définitif. Celles-ci sont de nature très variée : réacteurs électronucléaires de première et de deuxième génération\, laboratoires et réacteurs de recherche\, installations du cycle du combustible\, installations dédiées au traitement et au conditionnement des déchets\, etc. Conformément au cadre réglementaire\, ces installations font l’objet d’un démantèlement. Dans un premier temps\, il implique une réduction du terme source mobilisable\, suivi\, le cas échéant\, d’un assainissement des équipements et des structures internes des installations avant leur démontage. Dans un second temps\, le génie civil est décontaminé\, si nécessaire\, avant d’être déconstruit. Enfin\, un traitement des sols pollués est réalisé en vue du déclassement final. Ces opérations présentent de nombreux défis techniques\, économiques\, organisationnels et environnementaux. \nDu point de vue de la radioprotection\, les enjeux sont multiples : protection des intervenants dans un environnement évolutif et multirisques\, maîtrise du risque de dispersion de substances radioactives\, optimisation des volumes de déchets\, assainissement\, métrologie\, etc. \nLa Société Française de Radioprotection a souhaité organiser ces Journées Techniques afin de mettre au débat ces problématiques et de favoriser l’échange entre acteurs institutionnels\, exploitants\, industriels ou chercheurs autour de différentes thématiques : contexte réglementaire\, stratégie des acteurs industriels\, gestion des déchets et des matières radioactives\, avancées en termes de R&D et retours d’expérience concrets.

SUMMARY:AIRP-EUTERP Train-the-trainer event: The Use of New Technologies in E&T
DESCRIPTION:Background\nNuclear and radiological applications are part of our daily life in our society\, where they represent a stable energy source\, enable the effective diagnoses and treatments in a medical context and optimize industrial processes.\nAs numerous countries have expressed their ambition to expand these practices\, it is important that ample professionals have the necessary knowledge\, skills and competences to ensure the safe use of ionizing radiation. \nIn particular\, professionals in radiation protection such as radiation protection experts (RPE)\, radiation protection officers (RPO) ensure the protection of workers\, the public and the environment against detrimental effects associated with an exposure to ionizing radiation. Dedicated education and training activities for these profiles are in place in most countries\, but must be made future proof to anticipate to the rapid changing evolutions and applications. In line with the ICRP Vancouver Call for Action to strengthen expertise in radiological protection worldwide\, EUTERP is undertaking concrete actions to support the education and training community in radiation protection. \n  \nIn close collaboration with the Italian Association of Radiation Protection (AIRP) and Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI)\, EUTERP is organizing a European train-the-trainer event in Milan\, Italy from 24th to 27th June 2025. \n  \nAlthough the EU has a shared framework for radiation protection\, as noted above\, the enforcement and focus of national regulations vary\, with some prioritizing specific areas such as medical exposure\, nuclear safety\, or radon mitigation. Given the broad impact of radiation risks across multiple sectors\, a common approach to training helps to support the maintenance of consistent safety standards between countries. Using modern training methodologies such as AR and VR also allows for behavioral training in safe conditions\, underlining the ALARA methodology. In addition\, common tools\, including specialized software and protective equipment\, enhance communication and coordination\, particularly during emergencies\, where swift and unified responses are critical to mitigating radiation hazards. \n  \nAim and objectives\nThe objective of this event is helping to equip participants with modern and effective training methods and tools to ensure consistent radiation protection training\, support cross-border collaboration and mobility. \nThe event\, which will be conducted in English\, will include theoretical classes and hands-on practical training. \nPractical training methodologies will focus on the use of advanced virtual reality (VR) equipment\, selected online resources and artificial intelligence. \nAugmented-reality applications to teach the basics of radiation protection (such as the properties of different types of radiation) or Virtual-Reality environments to determine the half-life of radionuclides will be explored and tested. Virtual laboratories for checking radiation protection measures in these laboratories or for carrying out radiochemical experiments will also be explored. \nThe full programme is available on the event website.\n  \nTarget audience\nThis event is targeted to students and professionals in radiation protection who wish to explore modern teaching methodologies and tools. \nRegistration fees\nAIRP and EUTERP Associate members: 300 € \nHERCA\, IRPA\, ICRP & EURADOS members: 350 € \nRegular Fee: 400 € \nStudents: 100 € \nThe fee covers all course materials\, lunches and refreshments during breaks. \nThe Course also provides hours-credits for Radiation Protection Expert as established by the Italian D.Lgs 101/20. \nLimited financial support is available through the ENEN2plus project. For more information\, please contact tclarijs@sckcen.be. (evaluation criteria) \nPractical information and registration\nThe course accommodates up to 90 participants\, admitted on a first-come\, first-served basis\, with 15 spots reserved for students. \nRegistration is exclusively available from April 4\, 2025 online through the website of the Italian Association of Radiation Protection. \nFor questions\, please contact secretary@euterp.eu.

SUMMARY:Task Group 91 Workshop: Radiation Risk Inference at Low-dose and Low-dose Rate Exposure for Radiological Protection Purposes
DESCRIPTION:ICRP Task Group 91 has prepared a report that describes the Scientific Evidence Relevant to the Assessment of Solid Cancer Radiation Risk at Low Dose and Low Dose Rate. The report is available for public consultation until 13 June 2025. This workshop addresses important points of the report through presentations by Task Group members. 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\nThe current System of Radiological Protection uses a dose and dose rate effectiveness factor (DDREF) with a numerical value of 2 when applying estimates of radiation risk derived from high doses and dose rates to settings involving low doses and/or low dose rates. The concept combines the low dose effectiveness factor (LDEF) when interpolating estimates of risk across dose levels\, and the dose rate effectiveness factor (DREF) when extrapolating risk estimates from studies involving populations exposed to high dose rates to those exposed to low dose rates. In this report the current scientific evidence on the biological and health effects at those doses and dose rates is reviewed\, with emphasis on human solid cancer incidence and mortality. Numerical evaluations of both DREF and LDEF are considered from studies of somatic cell mutation\, cell transformation and cytogenetic endpoints. Life-shortening and all solid cancers combined are evaluated from historical studies on experimental animals (mice). A meta-analysis is described where risk estimates deduced from 29 human cohorts exposed to low dose rates were compared with those from the atomic bomb survivors (to address DREF)\, and a reanalysis of the curvature in the mortality data from the Japanese atomic bomb survivors on all solid cancers combined (to address LDEF) is presented. Finally\, mechanistically-based ways to combine biological evidence with epidemiological data are considered. While considerable uncertainties remain\, the ranges of LDEF and DREF values obtained here are narrower than those obtained in previous evaluations\, and are largely consistent amongst the various sources of data reviewed. The overall conclusion of this report is that\, based on current scientific evidence\, an LDEF of much greater than 3 are not supported\, and much less than 1 likewise. Similarly\, it is concluded that a DREF value much larger than 3 or less than 1 is also unlikely. \n  \nPROGRAMME\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n12:00\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction and History of DDREF\nWerner Rühm (ICRP & BfS\, Germany)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:10\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nEvidence from Cellular Studies\nSimon Bouffler (ICRP & UKHSA\, UK)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:20\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nEvidence from Experimental Animals\nGayle Woloschak (Northwestern University\, USA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30\nUTC\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvidence from Epidemiology & Dose Rate Meta Analyses\nLinda Walsh (University of Zurich\, Switzerland) & Roy Shore (New York University School of Medicine\, USA)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:40\nUTC\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvidence from Epidemiology & Dose Curvature Analyses\nMark Little (National Institutes of Health\, USA)  & Kotaro Ozasa (Kyoto Prefecture University of Medicine\, Japan)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:50\nUTC\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvidence from Mechanistic Modelling\nMichiaki Kai (Nippon Bunri University\, Japan) & Werner Rühm (ICRP & BfS\, Germany)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:00\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusions of the Report\nWerner Rühm (ICRP & BfS\, Germany)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:10\nUTC\n\n\n\n\n\nQ&A

SUMMARY:EAN Workshop: Optimization of the transport of radioactive material
DESCRIPTION:More than 20 million packages of radioactive material are transported each year on public roads\, railways\, and ships\, worldwide. The shipments are related to three main sectors: non-nuclear industry and research\, the medical field\, and the nuclear industry.\n• Non-nuclear industry and research account of most transported packages\, often\nfor mobile equipment with radioactive sources like gamma radiography devices.\n• Medical uses make up another important part of shipped materials like\nradiopharmaceutical products for healthcare.\n• The nuclear industry is responsible for the remaining (~5%)\, supporting activities\nrelated to the fuel cycle stages. \nWorkers handling and shipping these radioactive matters\, as well as those near the transport vehicles\, may be exposed to ionizing radiation. People in the immediate vicinity\nof vehicles transporting (on site and off site) radioactive substances may also be exposed to ionizing radiation\, though to a lesser extent than workers. Regulations are in place to\nprotect workers\, the public\, and the environment from radiation. However\, it must be recognized that as said by Mr. Grossi (Director General IAEA) “transport is a crucial\nmoment: it’s when nuclear and radioactive materials are on the move\, before being able to reach their destination reliably and on time” [that mistakes and problems can arise\nmore easily]. \nConsequently\, it happens that incidents\, accidents and thefts occur because some transport operators still insufficiently account for security and radiation safety to workers and the public. For instance\, drivers transporting medical radioactive sources face higher exposure than those in other sectors (e.g. several events with individual exposures over 20 mSv/y have been reported in France recently). Thus\, companies involved in the transport of radioactive substances must create sustainable radiological protection programs and regimes outlining radiation safety measures and the\noptimization of occupational and public exposures (implementing the ALARA principle). \nThe national authorities must organize regular drills involving both regular and potential responders. Training and coaching of all those involved must be stepped up and is an essential element in improving the radiation protection culture. \nThe 21st EAN workshop this time entitled “Optimization of the transport of radioactive material” will examine the current situation in Europe and elsewhere in the world (contributions from AFAN\, REPROLAM and ARAN regional networks are welcome) and will share experiences of improving the so-called radiation protection culture in these areas through the analysis of case studies and feedback experiences. At the end of the presentation sessions and work in small groups organized on this occasion\, the participants will try to put forward a set of recommendations on optimizing radiation protection in the field of transport. \nThe workshop will take place in Petten (The Netherlands) from 23 to 25 April 2025.

SUMMARY:ICRP webinar: engaging the next generation
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about how you can make a difference in the evolving field of radiological protection? We invite you to join us for an exciting and unique webinar\, hosted by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and proudly presented by the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada (RSIC) and Cameco. \nWith emerging topics like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) push for a major expansion in nuclear power\, advancements in medical technology\, and even the possibility of commercial space travel\, the need for radiation protection professionals has never been more urgent. In this webinar\, we’ll be highlighting the diverse and rewarding careers in radiation protection\, and how organisations are supporting the next generation of professionals worldwide. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience\, we’ll provide valuable insights to inspire and guide you. \nWe’ll also share how you can get involved with us at ICRP\, the world’s leading resource for recommendations on protection from ionising radiation. Our work is all about ensuring that technologies like X-rays and nuclear energy are used safely and ethically\, so their benefits far outweigh the risks. If you’re passionate about making an impact\, this is your opportunity to see how we’re shaping a safer future—one recommendation at a time. \nIn this two-day webinar\, we’ll dive into how both individuals and organisations can actively support the next generation of radiological protection professionals. Registration fees\, as well as individual and organisational contributions from this event will go toward helping emerging professionals travel to and participate in ICRP 2025 in Abu Dhabi\, where the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) is hosting the 8th International Symposium on the System of Radiological Protection from 6-9 October 2025. \nWhile we’re proud to offer free registration to those who need it\, we urge those who can afford it to purchase a paid ticket to make a real impact\, as all proceeds from the fees will be used to support participation in ICRP 2025. More importantly\, we’re calling on organisations to move beyond verbal support and take tangible action by joining our growing list of sponsors. The global shortage of radiation protection professionals is a well-known issue\, and now is the time for organisations to step up and directly invest in the future of this field. Supporting this event isn’t just about participation—it’s about committing to the solutions that will shape radiation safety for years to come.
