  1. Evaluation of the Implementation of Radiation Protection Measures for Aircrew A. Poffijn Dienst Toezicht op het grondgebied en natuurlijke straling

  2. Objectives • Evaluation of status of operational implementation of Art. 42 of BSS • Degree of harmonisation • Differences in transposition: • Choice of dose limits and constraints • Procedures for exposure assessment • ALARA below limits • Reporting requirements • Inspection and enforcement

  3. Information channels • Radiation protection authorities (RP) • National civil aviation authorities (CAA) • Airlines (AL)

  4. Country specific information • 32 countries (27 EU member states + Croatia, Macedonia, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey) • Information • Legislation • Dose register • National practice

  5. Overview replies • Replies from 17 CAA, 16 RPA and 12 AL

  6. Replies airlines • 12 AL replies OUT of 77 contacted • For Belgium SN, TNT and EAT contacted… … No one did reply

  7. Dose assessment

  8. Methods for dose assessment • Dose calculation by software packages • CARI 6 and EPCARD most frequently used • Rarely pre-calculated tables for flight schedules • Only a few airplanes (in Germany) equipped with on-board measurement equipment

  9. Dose registration • No registration for frequent flyers • No uniform way of information on doses to personnel

  10. Conclusions • Appropriate legislation implemented • Harmonisation: Need for guidance: • Treatment of dose limits and constraints • Employment of freelancers • Crew members working for different airlines (future) Important role for EASA

  11. Remark on EASA and harmonisation • Regulation EC 216/2008: uniform application of common rules But… No evidence in respect to cosmic radiation !
