EURADOS Annual Meeting 2015
AM2015

Invitation
Since 2002 EURADOS Annual Meetings (AM) are key elements in the agenda of the community
working in the field of ionising radiation dosimetry. It has become a tradition to combine statutory
actions of EURADOS with meetings of EURADOS Working Groups and also with events of general
interest such as the EURADOS Winter School or a workshop dedicated to a topic of particular importance.
The AM2015 will take place on 9-12 February 2015 at Importanne Resort in Dubrovnik, organised
by the Radiation Chemistry and Dosimetry Laboratory, Ruđer Bošković Institute. The meeting includes the 8th EURADOS Winter School "The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident - the role of dosimetry in assessing the consequences". It is planned to provide all presentations of this event on
the EURADOS website.
This second announcement shows the overall programme as well as the topics and the speakers of
the presentations during the Winter School. We encourage you to register and to book your hotel
at your earliest convenience. Please note the reduced fee for early registration before 9 January
2015 and the final deadline for registration of 5 February 2015.
We look forward to seeing many colleagues from the EURADOS network and also many other persons interested in the topics of AM2015 in Dubrovnik.
Werner Rühm,
EURADOS Chairperson

"The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident - the role of dosimetry in
assessing the consequences"
12 February 2015
Scope:
It was on March 11, 2011, when Japan was hit by a three-fold catastrophe. First, the magnitude 9.0
great Tohoku earth-quake occurred in the sea east of Japan, followed by a tsunami that devastated
large parts of the North-Eastern Japanese coast. As a result, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant suffered a complete power failure which led to an insufficient cooling of the reactor core already shut down at that time. The subsequent hydrogen explosions resulted in large-scale radioactive releases, mainly of 131I and 137Cs.
The 8th EURADOS Winter School is dedicated to this nuclear accident, focussing on the relevance of
dosimetry for the assessment of the consequences of this disaster. The school will include a description of how the accident happened, followed by a discussion of doses to the workers at the
plant and the radioecological issues that became relevant after the radioactive releases, including
remediation actions that were initiated. Doses to the Japanese population and the resulting radiation risk, EURADOS activities after the Fukushima accident, as well as radiation protection issues
will be also addressed. All lectures will be given by internationally well-known scientists who are
involved in actions taken in the aftermath of the Fukushima accident.
Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
Topics:
How did it happen: lay out of the accident
The role of dosimetry in the radioecology and remediation actions
Doses and risks to workers and the population in Japan
Scientific Committee:
Maria Antonia Lopez (CIEMAT, Spain)
