Workshop "Fit for purpose: A German contribution to the new ICRP recommendations"
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) co-organise the national workshop "Fit for Purpose" from November 6th to 8th 2024 in Munich.
Background
The revision and re-evaluation of the Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection ICRP (ICRP Publication 103) represents the most significant process for radiation protection over the upcoming years, both nationally and internationally, to keep the System of Radiological Protection "Fit for Purpose".
The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) co-organised a national workshop in Germany with the objective to pinpoint the areas that, as part of the revision process, need attention in order to improve radiation protection or where radiation protection is effective and sufficient.
