The 18th European ALARA Network Workshop will take place in Marcoule (France), from 11 – 13 March 2019.

The objectives of the workshop are:

• To present the regulatory background and latest guidance and standards regarding radiation protection for decommissioning and site remediation; both in the nuclear and the non-nuclear sectors.
• To examine the conceptual and the practical aspects of the optimisation (ALARA) principle in these fields for workers and the public. The workshop aims at gathering a large array of experience and feedback from work performed in nuclear installations, installations outside the nuclear fuel cycle (ex. research facilities) and legacy sites.
• To discuss and investigate selected key themes and overriding issues with regard to ALARA; to identify remaining needs and perspectives.

The workshop is jointly organised with the ISOE Working Group on Decommissioning (WG-DECOM).
