Scope of the Workshop

The workshop programme includes the following subjects:

  • Introduction and scene setting:
    IAEA initiatives on the Safety and Security of Radiation Sources; EU HASS Directive; ICRP Publications 96, 101 and 103; international initiatives since 9/11; and how each of these addresses the ALARA principle.
  • Safety and security measures:
    Proportionality and balance in safety and security, national regulatory programmes; and practical examples of ALARA in the implementation of security measures in different sectors and practices.
  • Planned exposure situations:
    Exposures arising from the implementation of security measures (workers, security personnel, public); training of security personnel and other peripheral workers; and practical examples of planned recovery operations.
  • Emergency situation management (especially due to malevolent acts):
    National strategies and cross-boundary effects; exposure and training of first responders; estimation and control of public doses; and feedback from incidents and lessons learned.
  • Justification and optimisation in the use of security screening devices:
    X-ray screening of passengers and other persons; the scanning and inspection of vehicles and containers; and fixed and portable baggage inspection systems.
