Towards effective radiation protection based on improved scientific evidence and social considerations – focus on radon and NORM

SHORT DESCRIPTION

RadoNorm is designed to initiate and perform research and technical development in support of European Union Member States, Associated Countries and the European Commission in their efforts to implement the European radiation protection Basic Safety Standards.

EU member states, associated countries and the European Commission are implementing the European Basic Safety Standards Directive for radiation protection. The EU-funded RadoNorm project will focus on all radiation risk management cycle levels for radon exposure, as well as situations of exposure to naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). The project intends to reduce scientific, technical and societal concerns by introducing research and technical developments, integrating education and training (E&T) and disseminating the results of the project through targeted actions to the public, stakeholders and related institutions. RadoNorm will direct research and development on all levels of the management cycle, combine biomedical and ecological research with mitigation development and social science research and bring together researchers from national radiation protection entities, universities and SMEs.
