[ Questionnaire to all interested parties ]
The EURATOM funded PROTECT project is evaluating different approaches to protection of the environment from ionising radiation and will compare these with the approaches used for non-radioactive contaminants. The project aims to provide a scientific justification on which to propose numerical targets or standards for protection of the environment from ionising radiation. One aim of the…
