The European ALARA Network has
considered that it would be useful to make a specific survey in order
to evaluate the dissemination of the justification, limitation and
optimisation principles rhough Europe. A questionnaire was prepared by
the EAN Newsletter Editorial Board and sent to all EAN (18 countries)
and RECAN (22 countries) national contact persons.
Such
a survey was first undertaken in 2001 and its results were published in
the ALARA Newsletter issue N°9. However, at that time, it was mainly
limited to EAN member countries. Since then, the enlargement of the EU
has led to several new implementations of the European Directives 96/29
and 97/43 that are directly inspired by ICRP N°60 Recommandations
[1990]. In addition, some non-member states are using the IAEA Basic
Safety Standards for Radiation Protection [1996] that are also based on
the Recommendations made by ICRP in 1990.
The 10th EAN Workshop took place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 12 to 15 September 2006. It was devoted to "Experiences and new developments in implementing ALARA in occupational, public and patient exposures". The full papers and the power point presentations are now downloadable. The conclusions and recommendations should be soon available in the Workshop […]
