Training in Radiation Protection in Sweden

The International Radiological Protection School (IRPS) is developed and organised by the NEA in co-operation with the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority and the Centre for Radiation Protection Research of Stockholm University. During the five-day programme, IRPS participants will gain a thorough understanding of the international radiological protection system, its application in diverse and emerging circumstances, and latest developments based on new scientific knowledge and lessons learned. Lectures and illustrative interactive case studies will be delivered by renowned experts in the multidisciplinary area of radiological protection. The IRPS will be conducted under the leadership of Richard Wakeford, retired Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Manchester and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Radiological Protection.
