EU NORM Symposium 2-5 October 2017 NPL, London, UK
The EU NORM 2017 symposium will provide industries, regulators and radiation experts active in the field of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) with a platform for discussion and exchange of expertise and information.
The symposium will also give scientists, radiation experts, regulators and other specialists the opportunity to present their work and interact with other stakeholders in the NORM field. Call for Papers is now open, we look forward to receiving your abstracts. The closing date for abstracts is 15 April 2017.
The new European Basic Safety Standards (EU BSS) - Directive 2013/59/EURATOM - addresses extensively NORM issues, challenging both regulators and industries.
The symposium programme will include the following topics:
- EU BSS implementation (including role of RP experts, education and training)
- Environmental safety assessment, environmental remediation and related radioecology
- Occupational doses in NORM industries with a focus on maintenance operation
- Building materials and trade of products with NORM
- NORM metrology (in situ measurements, reference materials, etc.)
- Management of NORM residues and decommissioning activities
- New trends in NORM industries with a focus on NORM in fracking
- Special topic: Occupational exposure from Radon and Thoron in NORM workplaces (with the support of ERA )
We hope to welcome you to the symposium in October 2017. Register to attend
