SUMMARY:BIPS Institute Seminar: "Beyond DNA Damage: Diverse Cellular Responses to Ionizing Radiation"
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology (BIPS). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \nIonizing 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\, recent studies have shown that radiation-induced cellular responses extend beyond DNA damage. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)\, lipid peroxidation\, metabolic reprogramming\, and extracellular vesicle-mediated intercellular communication also influence cell fate and therapeutic outcomes. \n  \nThese biological responses are strongly influenced by radiation quality. Low-linear energy transfer (LET) radiation\, such as X-rays and γ-rays\, mainly induces dispersed DNA damage\, whereas high-LET radiation\, including carbon-ion beams\, generates clustered and complex DNA damage that is considerably more difficult to repair. Furthermore\, ultra-high dose-rate (FLASH) irradiation has emerged as a promising approach that maintains tumor control while reducing normal tissue toxicity. Radiation quality and dose rate therefore influence not only DNA damage but also oxidative stress\, redox homeostasis\, and intracellular signaling. \n  \nRecent attention has focused on non-canonical forms of radiation-induced cell death. Ferroptosis\, an iron-dependent regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation\, has emerged as a determinant of radiosensitivity and a potential therapeutic target for apoptosis-resistant tumors. Ionizing radiation can also modulate anoikis\, cell adhesion signaling\, cytoskeletal organization\, and epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity\, thereby influencing tumor invasion and metastatic potential. \n  \nThis lecture will provide an overview of the diverse cellular responses to ionizing radiation\, focusing on DNA damage responses\, the biological effects of radiation quality\, and emerging mechanisms of radiation-induced cell death and metastasis suppression.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker \nDr. Kazumasa Minami is Associate Professor in the Division of Health Sciences\, Graduate School of Medicine\, The University of Osaka (UOsaka). He has held academic and research positions at UOsaka since 2013\, including appointments in radiation oncology\, health sciences\, and the Cancer Professional Training Program. From 2014 to 2016\, Dr. Minami was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) School of Medicine in the United States. After returning to Japan\, he served in several faculty positions at UOsaka\, including Specially Appointed Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor in Radiation Oncology and Health Sciences. Since 2025\, Dr. Minami has also been affiliated with the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy. His work is in the fields of radiation oncology and health sciences.

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.

SUMMARY:SRP webinar: Teaching AI the Laws of Physics – Paradigm Shift in Radiation Protection
DESCRIPTION:Free SRP Webinar:  \nTeaching AI the Laws of Physics – Paradigm Shift in Radiation Protection\n12 March 2026 12:00 – 13:00 (BST) \n\n\nAs 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 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.

SUMMARY:Joint ICRP & NPO Fukushima Dialogue Webinar
DESCRIPTION:15th Anniversary of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident: Testimonies on the Past\, Present\, and Future\nThis 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 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.

SUMMARY:SRP webinar: The Palomares Accident - 60 years later
DESCRIPTION:Free SRP Webinar:  \nThe Palomares Accident – 60 years later\n25 February 2026 12:00 – 13:00 (GMT) \n\n\nThe 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 Spain on the Mediterranean coast. 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.

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
