NERIS: European platform on preparedness for nuclear and radiological emergency response and recovery – Activities and perspectives

Abstract

Created in 2010, the aim of the NERIS platform is to establish a forum for dialogue and methodological development among all organisations and associations taking part in decision-making of protective actions in nuclear and radiological emergencies and recovery in Europe. The objectives of the platform are to contribute to improving the effectiveness of current approaches for preparedness, promoting more coherent approaches, identifying gaps and need for further developments, addressing new and emerging challenges, and maintaining and improving know-how and technical expertise in this field. This paper describes the missions, the organisation and the activities of the platform as well as the key components of its strategic research agenda.

SRP Annual Conference, Llandudno, 26-28 April 2016.

Abstract

Radiation Protection culture is a topic of specific interest for the French Society for Radiological Protection (SFRP). The preparation of the IRPA guiding principles for establishing a radiation protection culture, published in 2014 and endorsed by SFRP in 2015, was initially suggested and supported by SFRP, considering the importance of promoting radiation protection culture within organisations in order to ensure a good and well understood implementation of the radiological protection system [1].

The aim of this presentation is to outline some of the key components of the radiation protection culture and its role for the implementation of the ALARA principle for occupational exposure in the nuclear industry. Some elements regarding the development of RP culture within the French utility EDF and the main challenges for the future are also discussed.

KRS Workshop, Bern, Suisse, 8 April 2016

Résumé

Le nombre de centrales nucléaires mises à l’arrêt définitif est croissant en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. Le démantèlement de ces installations présente des risques particuliers par rapport à la phase d’exploitation qu’il convient d’anticiper et de gérer afin d’assurer un niveau optimal de protection des intervenants.

Journée SFRP "Tchernobyl, 30 ans après", Paris UIC, 15 mars 2016.

Résumé

L’accident de Tchernobyl a induit une contamination durable de l’environnement qui a certes évolué depuis 30 ans mais qui demeure présente encore aujourd’hui. Cette contamination persistante a mis en évidence la problématique de la gestion post-accidentelle sur le long terme et la nécessité de mettre en oeuvre des mesures de protection de la population adaptées. L’objectif de cette communication est d’aborder les perturbations économiques et sociales induites par la contamination durable de l’environnement et de présenter les initiatives mises en place en Biélorussie depuis une vingtaine d’années afin de contribuer à l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations.

Technical Meeting on Radiation, Health and Healing. Fukushima Medical University, Japan, 9-10 March 2016

Abstract

The concept of practical radiological protection culture emerged in the late 90s under the ETHOS project in Belarus and has gradually deepened in the CORE program during the decade that followed. Initially developed with adults, this culture rapidly appeared as a key element in the education of schoolchildren living in the long term contaminated areas by the Chernobyl accident.
