Radiation safety experts worldwide are invited to take part in sharing practical experience of implementing the IAEA safety standards to protect workers, patients, the public, and the environment from natural and artificial radiation sources, at a fully virtual IAEA conference
The IAEA is organizing the International Conference on Radiation Safety: Improving Radiation Protection in Practice in cooperation with the European Commission, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Pan American Health Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Health Organization.
The Conference aims to take stock of the worldwide radiation safety situation. It will provide a forum for the exchange of information on Member States’ experiences in applying the system of radiological protection, as provided for in the IAEA safety standards, to the protection of workers, patients, the public, and the environment. Both natural and artificial radiation sources fall within the scope of the Conference.
The conference will include expert-led round table discussions on the latest developments in the field, including lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to radiation protection, and technical sessions where selected participants will present their work on topics, ranging from applying the principle of justification to safety culture.
The Conference, which will identify the key challenges and possible solutions in radiation protection that need to be addressed by the international community, will be of interest to regulators, researchers, operators, and radiation protection professionals.
