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 both by ICRP and World Nuclear Association on their views of the following topics:

  • Future of RP profession and tripling RP workforce capacity
  • How to make better decisions at very low dose exposures
  • Views regarding upcoming changes in Dose and Dose-Rate Effectiveness Factor (DDREF) at low dose.
  • Individual sensitivity and the nuclear industry.
  • The Role of ICRP and the System of Radiological Protection in the UN sustainable development goals, including output of the recent UK Society for Radiological Protection Workshop
