| As part of a
series of Standing Conferences on Health and Safety in the
Nuclear Age, aimed at obtaining the views of the Community on
radiation protection matters and of informing members of the
Community of activities of the European Commission, a two-day
conference will be held in Luxembourg on 2-3 December 2002 to
consider approaches to managing environmental radioactivity. The
Stakeholders’ Conference will discuss the present system of
protection from ionising radiation and radioactivity in the
environment, both in terms of its adequacy from a scientific
perspective and of its public acceptance, and account will be
taken of this input when developing the proposed Environmental
Action Programme under the Euratom Treaty.
The conference will bring
together a wide range of stakeholders from both Member States of
the European Union and candidate countries and so provide the
European Commission with a geographically and culturally wide
set of views relating to this matter. In addition it is intended
that the participants will be representative of both general
society and science, thus including the media, the general
public, non-governmental organisations, professions, industry,
regulators and elected representatives. The scientists invited
to participate will come not only from specialist radiation
protection, radioecological and nuclear disciplines but also
from a cross-section of other disciplines such as conventional
ecology and environmental sciences. http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/radprot/ |
