2nd Workshop on "Good Radiation Practices in Industry and Research"
"Good Radiation Practices in Industry and Research", Chilton, UK, November 1998
The second EAN Workshop was attended by 60 participants from 11 countries with a good mix of operators, health physics experts and regulators; all with interests in the industrial and research sectors. This paper summarises some of the highlights and the recommendations to the European Commission that arose from the discussions.
