Release of Radioactive Materials - Provisions for Clearance and Exemption

Kursbereich: Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz
Kerntechnische Sicherheit - Tagungen & Kongresse

Zielgruppe: The symposium is directed towards scientists, engineers, technicians and lecturers in the field of radiation protection or whose tasks require knowledge in this area. It will be of interest not only to radiation protection and nuclear safety representatives in companies and other organizations, and health and safety specialists, but also to public authorities, independent experts and inspectors, applicants for planning permissions in the field of atomic energy and others with related site responsibilities.

Nutzen: Scope of the Symposium

Since 1998 TÜV NORD has been organizer of various symposia dedicated to the ?Release of Radioactive Material from Regulatory Control?. During the previous international symposium in Berlin in 2017 more than 130 clearance experts were welcomed to contribute to the discussions of this issue, which due to huge decommissioning projects moves in the focus of public interest. These interchanges of experience help to optimize release procedures and to reduce the amount of radioactive waste. In November 2022, we would like to continue the fruitful exchange of experience.

From the very beginning in 1998, the symposia have followed up the change of international regulation and guidelines in the area of clearance. Currently, the new IAEA Safety Guide DS500 on the ?Application of the concept of clearance? is in the process of endorsement and will update and supersede the previous Safety Guide RS -G-1.7 ?Application of the concept of Exclusion, Exemption and Clearance?. The new Safety Guide will provide detailed guidance on the application of the concept of clearance for materials encompassing the whole spectra of the clearance process from the regulatory framework up to the concept of specific clearance including mass and surface specific criteria. Furthermore, the Safety Guide outlines the duties of the regulatory body as well as of the license holderand will put challenges on its implementation and application in member countries.

Considering this highlighted starting point, we invite you, as interested experts from many countries, to continue the exchange of experience, expertise and information in the field of clearance. TÜV NORD will organize a symposium, which is intended to take place on 21st - 24th November 2022 in the Crowne Plaza Congress Hotel in Frankfurt.

General Symposium Arrangements
The symposium will consist of oral and poster presentations selected from submitted abstracts by the Programme Committee. All oral presentations are planned to be given in plenary sessions. Each presentation is intended to be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes
