PROTECT: A European Coordination Action
2007-04-03
The need for a system to protect the environment from ionising radiation is now generally recognised and there has been a considerable international and national effort on this issue over the last decade. The focus has been on collating relevant information and developing approaches to enable regulatory assessments. Alongside this, there has been extensive consultation with stakeholders.… Read more >>

OSPAR Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic
2007-06-15
>> Environment
Protection of the environment from radiation and reduced releases to the North East Atlantic were important topics at the meeting of the Radioactive Substances Committee (RSC) in the Oslo-Paris convention meeting hosted by Norway and held in Tromsø in Janaury this year. The main issue of discussion was how to implement the Sintra statement made in 1998 by the environmental ministers,… Read more >>

Fasset - Framework for Assessment of Environmental Impact
2003-06-27
>> others
The main objective of FASSET is to create a framework for assessing the impact of radioactive contamination on the environment. The framework will provide a system for linking together the release scenario, exposure pathways, dose to biota and effects at different levels of biological organisation. An important task will be to identify the elements that are most relevant, based on our… Read more >>
EPIC - Environmental Protection from Ionising Contaminants
2003-06-27
>> Environment
The aim of the EPIC project is to develop a methodology for the protection of natural populations of organisms in Arctic ecosystems from radiation. This will be achieved by derivation of dose limits for different biota. The project therefore aims to (i) collate information relating to the environmental transfer and fate of selected radionuclides through aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems… Read more >>
