The CEPN coordinates, in collaboration with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the European ALARA Network (EAN) which was created in 1996 to promote the ALARA principle in the management of occupational and public exposure.
The network is run by a group of experts from twenty countries representing radiation protection authorities, research organisations and operators in the nuclear industry across Europe.
The network is conducted by a group of twenty experts who represent the European radiation protection authorities, research organizations and nuclear industrial operators.
The objective is to share experience and produce recommendations regarding the practical application of radiation protection optimization in all the exposure situations of both workers and public. The CEPN coordinates the network.
To achieve these objectives, the EAN network organises a workshop every 18 months on a topic of interest to its members. It has also established channels for disseminating information by producing a biannual newsletter (‘ALARA Newsletter’) and maintaining a website.
