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.

Sub-networks and working groups

As specified in the Terms and Conditions for the operation of the network, EAN can establish sub-networks and working groups on topics of particular interest. Sub-networks are mean to be sustainable, whereas working groups are created for a limited period of time. The first EAN sub-network was created in 2002 on research reactors. This sub-network is no more active.

Up to now 1 sub-network and 1 working group are in operation:

  • The European Radioprotection Authority Network (ERPAN), created in 2006.
  • The Working Group on ALARA Culture, set-up in October 2009.

The European Commission has financially supported a project for the setting-up of a European ALARA Network for NORM. This 2-year project ended in December 2008. Although the European project ended, the EAN-NORM is still active and is organizing its 3rd Workshop in November 2010.
