Interview with ICRP Scientific Secretary Featured in SRP Newsletter

I run the day-to-day business of ICRP. I’m always working on dozens of projects at once, including a wide variety of technical and administrative tasks. At the moment, my team and I are working on the follow-up to ICRP 2019, our 5^th International Symposium on the System of Radiological Protection. Among other things, we are preparing materials for the website, including videos of all the presentations, and starting to work on the proceedings, which will be published in Annals of the ICRP.

One of the more exciting pieces of work is related to space exploration. I really enjoyed bringing together a team of experts from all space agencies with major human spaceflight activities, to work on the challenge of radiological protection for astronauts for missions to the Moon and Mars.

I’m constantly referring to ICRP publications of course, but that’s my job!  I like skimming SRP Weekly when I have a chance – it’s short and to the point, and I can get more detail via links if I want.
