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.

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.
