The European ALARA Network

The European ALARA Network (EAN) promotes the optimisation of radiation protection (keeping exposures As Low As Reasonably Achievable – ALARA) across Europe. It brings together professionals, regulators, and stakeholders to share experience, develop guidance, and support the practical implementation of ALARA principles in various sectors, including industry, medicine, research, and the environment.

🎥 The first EAN webinar is now available online!

We are pleased to share the recording of the main presentation from the first EAN webinar, titled ‘Teaching: Tools and Simulation for Radiation Protection Training’.

 

The webinar, originally scheduled for one hour, included a 30-minute presentation followed by a Q&A session. The online recording covers the presentation portion, allowing everyone to access the key information and insights shared during the webinar. ✨

📢 First EAN webinar

 

The first EAN webinar will take place on Monday, 15 December 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm CET.

? Maxime HENRI, from INSTN, will present: Teaching Tools and Simulation for Radiation Protection Training.

This webinar will present the various educational and simulation tools that are available nowadays for radiation protection training. INSTN developed and owns several educational tools, from training sites to virtual reality. These tools allow trainees to benefit from training situations that closely resembles the real-life conditions they will encounter in their work, while controlling or even eliminating their exposure to ionising radiation.

Newsletter n°53 – Summer edition 2025

 

We are delighted to share with you the 53rd edition of the EAN Newsletter, bringing the latest insights and updates from the radiological protection community across Europe.

In this issue, you will find:

  • Spain’s INVEAT Challenge: a closer look at the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council’s (CSN) regulatory approach to licensing a major wave of high-tech medical equipment (p.2).

  • Highlights from the 21st EAN Workshop (April 2025, Petten, The Netherlands), which focused on the optimization of the transport of radioactive material and gathered stakeholders from across Europe to exchange best practices (p.8).

  • Save the date! Announcement of the 22nd EAN Workshop, dedicated to optimizing radiation protection in design for nuclear, accelerator, and medical isotope installations (p.13).

We hope you will enjoy this Newsletter, which is made possible through EAN Members support.
