Summary of the 4th Asian Regional Conference on the Evolution of the System of Radiological Protection

Abstract

The Committee on Radiation Protection and Public Health (CRPPH) of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) organised the fourth Asian Regional Conference on 13-14 December 2007 to discuss the next steps following the publication of new ICRP recommendations, to discuss aspects of their implementation, and to provide a dedicated forum for the collection and discussion of Asian views. The results of this conference provided useful and practical viewpoints for implementing the new ICRP recommendations to NEA member countries in the Asian and Pacific region, and highlighted those areas where further dialogue and discussion would be necessary in order to effectively implement the new formulation of the Commission's principles.
