PNRI Hosts IAEA/RCA Regional Workshop on Radiological Dose Assessment
Researchers representing several countries in the Asia-Pacific region meet with experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the further development of environmental radioactivity monitoring efforts in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in marine systems, during the IAEA/RCA Regional Workshop on Radiological Dose Assessment hosted by the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) from February 24 to 28, 2020 at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center in Quezon City.
The workshop was held in collaboration with the IAEA and the Regional Cooperative Agreement for Research, Development and Training Related to Nuclear Science and Technology for Asia and the Pacific (RCA).
IAEA Project RAS7028 aims to enhance the capabilities of Member States in monitoring marine radioactivity and to assess the potential impact of radioactive releases from nuclear facilities into the marine environment, whether routine or accidental.
