Realising the European Network in Biological Dosimetry (RENEB)
|
|
|
The goal of RENEB is to establish a sustainable European network in biological dosimetry involving 23 organisations from 16 countries identified by the TENEB survey, that will guarantee highest efficiency in processing and scoring of biological samples for fast and reliable results implemented in the EU emergency management

Dose Datamed 2
|
|
|
 Article 12 of the Medical Exposure Directive (MED) requires Member States to determine data on the population radiation dose from medical exposures. At the end of 2004, an EU-funded project called DOSE DATAMED was set up with regard to the implementation of Art. 12 of the MED. DOSE DATAMED covered ten European countries with national experiences in conducting surveys on medical radiodiagnostic procedures. In 2011, a follow-up project was launched addressing also EU countries with less or no experiences concerning this matter: Dose Datamed 2.

Alpha-Risk
|
|
|
 The main objective of the EU AlphaRisk project was to improve the quantification of long-term cancer and non-cancer health risks associated with chronic internal contamination by alpha-emitters; this was achieved by combining data and expert knowledge within the EU. The BfS (The Federal Office of Radiation Protection), Germany made contributions as a project partner to one work-package on indoor radon studies and major contributions to several work-packages involving risk assessment and organ dose dosimetry.

"Radon Prevention and Remediation" (RADPAR)
|
|
|
 The aim of the EU project "Radon Prevention and Remediation" (RADPAR) is the identification of strategies to reduce the public health burden due to radon exposure in dwellings. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive noble gas, which can penetrate through the ground into buildings and lead to lung cancer. The main objective of the project is to improve the European wide information exchange and to develop regional specific solutions.

"Towards a European Network of Excellence in Biological Dosimetry" (TENEB)
|
|
|
Subsequent to a large-scale radiation accident or a terrorist attack with radiation sources or radioactive material, a substantial number of persons could have been exposed to ionising radiation. In order to provide optimal medical care to the exposed individuals and to identify non-irradiated persons a reliable dose reconstruction is of utmost importance. This can be realized by several measures within the emergency management system.

"Interoperability and Automated Mapping" (INTAMAP)
|
|
|
 The aim of "INTAMAP" (2006 to 2009) was the development and realisation of strategies to harmonise and interpolate environmental measuring data using the example of gamma dose rate data collected EU-wide. Furthermore, automated evaluation and representation methods on the basis of Open Source software and standardised service architecture has been implemented.

"Sustaining access to Tissues and data frOm Radiobiological Experiments" (STORE)
|
|
|
 The STORE project is a Support Action funded by the European Commission under the 7th EURATOM Framework Programme. The project is addressed in the work programme topic: Fission-2008-3.1.1: Databases and Tissue Banks. The consortium consists of eight partners from five countries and is coordinated by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS), Germany.

"European Network on Education and Training in Radiation Protection - Part II" (ENETRAP II)
|
|
|
 Everywhere in Europe, a decrease in radiation protection competency can be observed, since experienced experts retire and young people do no longer consider this field to be their intended career. New initiatives are to counteract this development. It is intended to concentrate the available resources through a “Europeanisation” of those parts of training and education that are not bound to national regulations. The ENETRAP project (ENETRAP = European Network on Education and Training in Radiation Protection) in which BfS was in charge of one work package, was discontinued at the end of 2007, after it had successfully developed and had shown good results such as the establishment of a study course “European Master in Radiation Protection”.

"European Radiation Dosimetry Group" (EURADOS)
|
|
|
 It is the aim of EURADOS, to support the scientific understanding and the technical development of methods of dosimetry of ionising radiation in the fields of radiation protection, radio-biology, radio-therapy, and medical diagnostics. This is achieved by cooperation between European institutions, especially from EU countries.

Studies on Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA)
|
|
|
BfS and the Federal Agency for Digital Radio of Security Authorities and Organisations (BDBOS) reached an agreement to pay adequate attention to basic requirements of radiation protection and to information and risk communication when setting up the new digital voice and data communication system for security authorities. The terms of condition are that BDBOS finances research projects aiming at clarifying open scientific questions for risk evaluation of the electromagnetic fields used for TETRA. Actually two research projects are carried out which both started in 2009.
