RESEARCH EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED BY IRSN AND TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND RISK EVALUATION

摘要

The primary objective of the workshop is to examine how scientific research and environmental studies, including the effects and distribution of radiation and radio-nuclides, can contribute to development of practical standards for protection of the environment and human health. The output is intended to be useful to operators and regulators involved in radioactive waste management projects in Northwest Russia, who are also responsible for Environmental Impact Assessment and regulatory aspects of risk estimation. Secondary objectives include the exchange of information on the application of risk assessment methods as applied to these projects and the regulatory process applied to these projects. In accordance with its missions, the IRSN conducts or takes part in research programs and experiments concerning the environmental impact assessment of releases of radioactive substances and risk assessment. Some programs and research activities in these two fields are presented here after.
