This project, supported by the European Commission and co-ordinated by the Health Protection Agency (UK), lasted from January 2007 to May 2008. It aimed to establish a network to facilitate the promotion of the ALARA principle in industrial radiography. Now discussions are still ongoing to establish a cooperation agreement between EAN and EFNDT (European Federation […]

Editorial
In February 2008 the revised ICRP Recommendations for a System of Radiological Protection (Publication n° 103) were published, formally replacing the Commissions previous, 1990, Recommendations (see ALARA Newsletter No. 21). They reinforce the principle of optimisation of protection, which should be applicable in a similar way to all exposure situations, subject to restrictions on individual doses and risks: dose and risk constraints for planned exposure situations, and reference levels for emergency and existing exposure situations.
In that context, the present issue of the ALARA Newsletter illustrates how wide the scope of the optimisation of radiological protection is today.
The 11th EAN Workshop on "ALARA in Radioactive Waste Management" was held in Athens (Greece) from April 9 to 11, 2008. The Conclusions and Recommendations are now available in the Workshop section. You will also be able to download the full papers and the power point presentations.

The aim of the 11th EAN Workshop was to focus on the implementation of the ALARA principle with regard to occupational and public exposures arising from the management of radioactive waste. This included waste from the nuclear, medical, NORM, industrial, education and research sectors.
As with previous workshops, this workshop consisted of presentations (oral and posters) intended to highlight the main issues, and a significant part of the programme was devoted to discussions within working groups with . From these discussions, participants produce drecommendations on ALARA in Radioactive Waste Management addressed to relevant local, national and international stakeholders.

The two first articles of this 22nd issue of the European ALARA Newsletter respectively present the recommendations of the 3rd RECAN Workshop and the summary of the 1st Workshop of the European ALARA Network for NORM. Then, the setting-up of the new Asia Region ALARA Network, ARAN, is evoked. The last article describes and analyses an incident in the medical sector. Following the retirement of the EAN Chairman, C. Lefaure, a new team now manages EAN: the CVs of the members of this team are included in this issue.
Finally, the final programme and the last announcement of the 11th EAN Workshop on "ALARA in Radioactive Waste Management" (Athens, Greece, 9-11 April 2008) is included.
