  Overall context In recent years, under the notable incentive of an IUR Task Group initiated as early as 1997, the issue of the protection of the environment from ionizing radiation has evolved and is now a major topic for radioecologists. Several International Organizations (IAEA, UNSCEAR, EC, ICRP) and national…

This Task Group to deal with radioecology of rice has been launched at the 3rd International Conference on contaminants in soil Environments in Australiasian-Pacific Regions that was organized in Beijing, in November 2003. It is co-chaired by Shigeo Uchida from NIRS (Japan) and Hirofumi Tsukada from IES (Japan), with initial members from…

This is a joint IAEA/IUR Task Group which is embeded in the IAEA EMRAS Programme: Working Group on revision of the Handbook of parameter values for the prediction of radionuclide transfer in temperate environments, IAEA-TRS No. 364 Next Meeting The next meeting of this Working Group will be held in conjunction with the Fifth…

The main aim of this Task group is to provide a forum for IUR members to discuss a variety of issues concerned with the interaction of scientific research and policy making. The Group's area of interest covers philosophical questions such as the relationship and demarcation between "fact and value", the role of ethical and value judgements…

The activity of this Task Group has been closely associated to the IAEA BIOMASS Programme that was recently ended. Although there is still a need to complete radioecological data base, and to expand to better knowledge on radionuclides transfer to fruits in all climatic conditions, the reduced present activity in this field does not…
