EAN-NORM symposium 2016

The latest European Basic Safety Standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation (Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom) were completed in autumn 2013 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 5 December 2013. The new Directive, which has several new requirements in many new radiation safety areas, entered into force on 6 February 2014. EU States must ensure compliance by 6 February 2018.

The consolidation of five existing European Directives led, among other things, to a new part in the new Directive concerning exposure to natural radiation sources that covers several fields, such as industrial sectors involving Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), NORM in building material, exposure on sites contaminated as a result of past activities, exposure to radon in dwellings and occupational environments, and exposure of air and space crews to cosmic radiation.

Some crucial key points contained in the Directive are the principles of justification, optimisation of protection and optimisation of dose limits, different exposure situations, dose constraints and reference levels, the principle of the graded approach to regulation, etc.

The aim of the Workshop is to gather EU-wide experts involved in the NORM field to discuss the impact of the new EU BSS on their respective Member State legislation, communicate how far the transposition of the BSS has come, share experiences on problems and obstacles that have arisen, and how they have been overcome.
