Joint World Nuclear Association-ICRP Webinar

Enabling Sustainable Development Through the System of Protection


3 October 2024  |  Virtual Event

 

 

ICRP has initiated a process for the review of the system of radiological protection, which is likely to lead to a new set of General Recommendations. This process will shape radiation-related policy, practice, guidelines, and regulations around the world in the decades to come.

This webinar, jointly organised by World Nuclear Association and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), will explore a number of key topics which will play an important part in the review and revision of the System of Radiological Protection and in enabling sustainable development such as the COP28 ambition of tripling nuclear capacity.

A brief overview will be provided by both ICRP and World Nuclear Association.
