NORM, non-destructive testing, construction, airline. • What are the criteria for success and how would you assess the RP culture? Suggest tools.
Questions for Discussion • How to engage the stakeholders (regulators, operators, professional organizations…) in the process of developing RP culture. • What is the role of radiation protection professionals and professional societies in promoting an RP culture? • How is the local or regional culture included? • What is the general guidance?
Goals • Develop an Action Plan for proceeding • Establish a Drafting Team to develop and begin writing guidance for addressing the issues identified in this Workshop • Have a draft document to circulate prior to the IRPA13 Congress in Glasgow, May 2012 and discuss at the Associate Society Forum at that Congress
