Occupational Radiation Protection Protecting Workers Against Exposure to Ionzing Radiation...

The International Conference on Occupational Radiation Protection, held in Geneva in August 2002, was the first international conference covering the whole area of occupational radiation protection. A number of specific recommendations emerged from the conference, which noted that, in general terms, occupational radiation protection over the past few decades has been a success story for the international radiation protection community. Consistently improving trends are found in many key performance indicators, but the picture is not so clear or encouraging for exposures in medicine and industry, nor for exposures to natural sources, especially in the mining of ores other than uranium. This is important, as these are the principal types of exposure encountered globally.International Atomic Energy Agency Staff is the author of 'Occupational Radiation Protection Protecting Workers Against Exposure to Ionzing Radiation...', published 2003 under ISBN 9789201056030 and ISBN 9201056036.
