  4. INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS Fundamentals Requirements Guides 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  5. PROVISIONS FOR APPLICATIONS fostering INFORMATION EXCHANGE MECHANISMS FOR PROVIDING FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE STANDARDS providing TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE promoting EDUCATION & TRAINING rendering APPRAISAL SERVICES coordinating RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  6. ALARA principle : present statusPublications and tools • Standards - SR : Optimization of Radiation Protection in the Control of Occupational Exposure (2002) - SG WS-G-1.2 : NORM (“Graded approach”) (2005) - SR : RP Aspects of Design for NPPs (2005) - Other documents in medical areas • Tools and training courses - Radior - Module in the PGEC - Other… 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  7. ALARA principle : present statusTechnical Assistance • 139 Member States • “Model Project” : more than 90 countries • 6 Thematic Safety Areas • Optimisation principle : TSA1 up to TSA6 • Example : RAS/9/030 (KOR,PRC,PAK) 1. Regulatory Infrastructures2. Occupational RP3. Medical Exposure4. Public and Environment5. Emergency6. Education and Training 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  8. International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection,held in August 2002, Geneva International Conference on National Infrastructures for Radiation Safety, held in September 2003, Rabat ALARA principle : present statusNetworking (1) Added value and need for promoting a “Network approach” recognized 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  9. ALARA principle : present statusNetworking (2) Commitment of the IAEA • ISOE : joint Secretariat with NEA Technical Centre for 11 non OECD countries • EAN : observer • EURADOS : participation to ICE • Radiation Safety Regulator Network • RECAN 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  10. ALARA principle : present statusNetworking (3) Regional European and Central Asian ALARA Network • Launched in 2005 (“Upgrading” of the former CEEAN) • Practical Implementation of the Principle of Optimization of Radiation Protection through Networking (RER/9/081) • Objectives • To support the development of a sustainable regional network within the geographical region of interest: • Central and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean and where further progress towards achieving the compliance with the BSS is a priority. • Close co-operation with the European ALARA Network 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  11. ALARA principle : present statusNetworking (4) Regional European and Central Asian ALARA Network • 28 countries • “Kick off” meeting : July 2005 • 1st WS : Vilnius,Lithuania, November 2005 • 1st SC meeting : Vienna, February 2006 • 2nd SC meeting : Vienna, September 2006 • 2nd WS : Cavtat, Croatia, October 2006 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  12. 2nd RECAN WS : Cavtat, Croatia, 18-20 Oct 2006 • “Implementation of ALARA in Medicine” • 48 participants • More than 20 countries • WG and issues identified 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  13. ALARA principle : perspectivesPublications and tools • Input to the next ICRP Recommendations • TEC DOC on “Self assessment on RP and optimisation in NPPs” (Project RAS/9/030) • Upgraded version of the ORPGUIDE 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  14. ALARA principle : perspectives • Missions of the Agency • Further support to networks • Action in the framework of the International Action Plan on Occupational Radiation Protection 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  15. ALARA principle : perspectives Missions of the Agency • Development of material (Training, Information, …) • Dissemination of information(website, translation, …) • Further assistance to the MS (TSA through TC projects ) 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  16. ALARA principle : perspectives Further support to networks • To the existing networks (ISOE, RECAN,…) 3rd RECAN WS : Brasov, October 2007 “Problems in implementing practical optimization”4th RECAN WS : ? • To foster the “birth” of new networks - Asia : ongoing - Africa : ? (french – english) - Latin America : ? 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  17. ALARA principle : perspectives Action in the framework of the International Action Plan on Occupational Radiation Protection Findings and Recommendations International Action Plan approved in 2003 Joint Secretariat ILO-IAEA 14 actions Steering Committee (meeting in Feb 2004, Jan 2006) 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  18. Example 1 REGIONAL IRPA CONGRESS, BRASOV, SEPTEMBER 2007 Proposal to hold a Round Table on Networking (Coord.IAEA?) PENDING QUESTION : Integration-Coordination -Collaboration? 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  19. Example 2 see S. NIU’s presentation on Wednesday proposal for the Terms of Reference experts meeting should be held (candidates ?) some issues to be addressed : - integrated risk management - optimisation in developing countries - ALARA as a driving force ? 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  20. Conclusions Added value from the implementation of the optimization principle • Implementation of the BSS is promoted • Harmonization of RP is fostered • Exchange of information is facilitated • ALARA practices are disseminated • Contacts RB – OP – WF are encouraged 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006

  21. Conclusions Pending issues - Scope of the optimization principle • Integration within a global safety management • Optimization in developing countries • Future relations between networks 10th WS EAN - Praha,September 2006
