CEPN is a non-profit organisation created in 1976 to establish a research and development centre in the fields of optimisation of radiological protection and comparison of health and environmental risks associated with energy systems.

The studies are undertaken by a group of a dozen of engineers and economists. The research programme is evaluated by a Scientific Council.

The association currently has three members: the French public electricity generating utility (EDF), the Institute of Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) and the French Alternatives Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).

Oral Presentation at the 2nd International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection: Enhancing the Protection of Workers - Gaps, Challenges and Developments, Vienna, Austria, 1-5 Deccember 2014.

Abstract

The second International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection, organized by the IAEA, co-sponsored by the ILO and in cooperation with several other international organizations, was held at the IAEA’s Headquarters in Vienna, Austria, from 1 to 5 December 2014.

10 years after the first international conference on this topic, the objective of this second conference was to look backward on what has been achieved in the improvement of occupational radiation protection and to identify gaps and challenges for the next decade.

This presentation summarises the conclusions from sessions and round tables, addressing notably the following topics:

    • Recent Changes and the Challenges in the Practical Implementation in International Recommendations and Standards on occupational radiation protection
    • Radiation effects and health risks from radiation exposure at the workplace
    • Dose assessment and dose record management
    • Occupational radiation protection in industrial and research facilities
    • Occupational radiation protection in emergencies and post-accident situations
    • Occupational radiation protection in medicine
    • Occupational radiation protection in the workplaces involving exposures to NORM, cosmic rays and radon
    • Occupational radiation protection in the nuclear fuel cycle
    • Education and training in occupational radiation protection
    • Safety culture

Vous avez dit Radioprotection ?

Vous avez dit Radioprotection ?

Did you Say Radiation Protection? Stories of X-Rays, Radioactivity, etc …” is a traveling exhibition devoted to radiation protection, that is to say all the means to protect workers, the public and the environment from potentially harmful effects of X-rays and of radioactivity.

La robe et le nuage

Robe et Nuage

La robe et le nuage propose au lecteur une plongée dans le monde de la radioactivité qui n'a rien d'un pensum pour physiciens avertis. Bien au contraire, l'ouvrage, destiné au grand public, s'attache à retracer l'histoire des rayons X et de la radioactivité, ainsi que celle de son nécessaire pendant : la radioprotection. Rédigé par un spécialiste français du sujet et une journaliste scientifique, il aide à mieux comprendre la radioactivité, de La robe de Marie Curie au nuage de Tchernobyl.

ETHOS in Belarus

ETHOS en Biélorussie

Le projet européen ETHOS avait pour but d’améliorer durablement les conditions de vie des habitants des villages dont la vie quotidienne a été fortement affectée par la présence à long terme de contamination radioactive à la suite de l’accident de Tchernobyl. Il s’agissait d’une nouvelle démarche pluridisciplinaire basée sur une implication forte de la population dans l’évaluation et la gestion du risque radiologique en concertation avec les autorités locales, régionales et nationales et des experts biélorusses.
