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 current members of the Association are: the French public electricity generating utility (EDF) and the French Alternatives Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).

Topic Keynote Lecture at the International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection: Enhancing the Protection of Workers - Gaps, Challenges and Developments, Vienna, Austria, 1-5 Deccember 2014.

Abstract

This presentation shows a global overview occupational exposures trends in nuclear facilities based on UNSCEAR latest data. A focus is made on occupational exposures in nuclear power plants based on data from the International System on Occupational Exposure (ISOE). Reasons of exposure decrease in NPPs are synthetized, based on the implementation of ALARA, design improvements, use of feed-back experience and improvements of source term management. Perspectives and future challenges are finally discussed.
