The spread of radioactive contamination, arising from the poisoning and the […]
Join ICRP and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) for a joint webinar exploring how radiological protection of the environment is being implemented around the world. Drawing on findings from a new global survey, the webinar will explore how ICRP recommendations—including Reference Animals and Plants (RAPs) and Derived Consideration Reference Levels (DCRLs)—are being applied in […]
Topical area: occupational radiation protection of for medical professionals "Radiation shielding in interventional radiology: wearable lead, devices and barriers" By DMichael Katsidzira (University Hospitals Birmingham, UK) For decades, heavy lead aprons have been the standard for radiation protection in interventional labs, contributing significantly to a high incidence of orthopaedic injuries among medical staff. This […]
Radiation protection for hospital staff. Occupational radiation protection in the clinical setting: protecting staff in fluoroscopy and interventional procedures.
This webinar is hosted by the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS). Abstract Ionizing radiation exerts its biological effects primarily through the induction of DNA damage, particularly DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) regulates cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair, apoptosis, and cellular senescence, thereby contributing to tumor control. However, […]
The International Society of Radiation Epidemiology and Dosimetry (ISoRED) was initiated in 2019 to bring together radiation researchers from around the world to discuss new results of studies of ionizing radiation effects in humans, epidemiologic methodology and dosimetry; support capacity building and training for the next generation of scientists interested in radiation epidemiology, statistics and dosimetry; […]
Join us on 27 April 2026 as ICRP and global RP experts present Lessons for Radiological Protection from the Chornobyl NPP and Fukushima Daiichi NPP Accidents. This webinar aims to answer the central question: are we better prepared to protect people and the environment in situations of radiological accidents, and have we truly learned from […]
Free SRP Webinar: New Clearance and Exemption Guidance 16 April 2026 12:00 - 13:00 (BST) In 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 […]
Free SRP Webinar: Teaching AI the Laws of Physics – Paradigm Shift in Radiation Protection 12 March 2026 12:00 - 13:00 (BST) As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into the physical world, its application within nuclear safety–critical domains has come under heightened scrutiny. While AI has demonstrated considerable effectiveness in perception-based tasks—such as processing […]
15th Anniversary of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident: Testimonies on the Past, Present, and Future This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. 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 […]
Free SRP Webinar: The Palomares Accident - 60 years later 25 February 2026 12:00 - 13:00 (GMT) The Palomares accident occurred on 17 January 1966, when two US military planes, a B-52 bomber and a KC-135 tanker aircraft, collided in the process of a midair refuelling operation above the town of Palomares, in the southeast of […]
