The epistemological basis of radiological protection: two initiatives of the search for the truth about the biological effects of low doses of ionising radiation
Two initiatives to reach the 'truth' about the effects of low doses of ionising radiation were analysed: the initiative of the Brazilian National Congress through the creation of a Working Group (WG) in charge of evaluating the status of radiological protection in the country and the initiative of the World Council of Nuclear Workers (WONUC) to create a publication focused exclusively on the ...

Success Story: IRSN intensively uses Kartotrak for generation of precise maps
IRSN – the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety – is the French national public expert in nuclear and radiological hazards. IRSN uses Kartotrak weekly to produce maps of dose rates over the France. The organization has also implemented the software in emergency situations such as just after the disaster of Fukushima in Japan. This success story shows why IRSN ...

Pycko Scientific at this years SRP conference
Pycko Scientific will again be exhibiting at this years Society for Radiological Protection conference at Aberdeen UK on the 16th to 18th May. Pycko will have on display a range of simulated instruments from STS including the latest smart probe for Thermo RadEye and the ever popular Contamination and Safe-Series field survey simulator models. Bill will be there to man the stand and would be ...

Environmental radiological protection and nuclear law: from the protection of humans to the protection of the environment per se?
In recent decades, there has been a growing awareness that nuclear law needs to address the question of the effects of ionising radiation on the environment and on nature. This is the result of long debates among environmental ethicists on the intrinsic value of nature and non-human species, including the question of who or what has moral and legal standing. How are non-human species protected ...

EU normative framework and standards of radiological protection in medicine
This paper examines the normative framework of the European Union (EU) and member states in the field of radioprotection of individuals undergoing medical exposure, in the light of harmonisation on the basis of the European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or EURATOM) directives and enforcement at the national level. It discusses to what extent medical standards in radioprotection vary in member ...

Derivation of low-dose extrapolation factors from analysis of curvature in the cancer incidence dose response in Japanese A-bomb survivors
The derivation of cancer risks after low-dose and low-dose-rate exposure to ionising radiation is critical to the setting of standards for radiological protection. In extrapolating cancer risks observed in groups exposed at a high dose-rate such as the Japanese A-bomb survivors, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends application of a Dose and Dose-Rate ...

Evaluation of occupational radiation exposure of cardiologists in interventional radiography in Mashhad CATHLABs
Several studies have revealed that interventional radiography procedures performed in cardiology departments are high dose techniques. In this study, effective dose of cardiologists working in hospitals Catheterisation Laboratories (CATHLABs) in Mashhad city have been measured during Coronary Angiography (CA) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) procedures. In order to ...

On the application of an environmental radiological assessment system to an anthropomorphic surrogate
Recent developments have seen the expansion of the system of radiological protection for humans to one including protection of the environment against detrimental effects of radiation exposure although a fully developed framework for integration of human and ecological risk assessment for radionuclides is only at an early stage. In the context of integration, significant differences can be ...

Model evaluation of RIMPUFF within complex terrain using an 41Ar radiological dataset
The newly updated atmospheric dispersion model RIMPUFF is evaluated using routine releases of 41Ar from the former HIFAR research reactor located in Sydney, Australia. A large number of 41Ar measurements from a network of environmental gamma detectors are used to evaluate the model under a range of atmospheric stability conditions within the complex terrain area. Model sensitivity of input data ...

Status of laws related to physical protection and radiological emergency in the Republic of Korea
Laws related to atomic energy of the Republic of Korea, which were quite simple at the nascent stage, have been diversified in accordance with the expansion of the nuclear industry and growing public needs. As part of the efforts by the government to address public concerns about nuclear safety, the Act for Physical Protection and Radiological Emergency was enacted to enhance the capabilities to ...

National system for prevention of nuclear and radiological terrorism in Lithuania
Minimisation of the threat posed by nuclear and radiological terrorism and mitigation of its impact is one of the most important tasks for any state. Prevention of the diversion of nuclear and radioactive material is related to a number of measures, which include the physical protection of the nuclear industry, readiness for investigation of the appropriate incidents and accidents, emergency ...
