Presenter: Jordi Vives i Batlle (SCK CEN)
Abstract:
We present a new methodology for the impact assessment of radionuclides and chemical contaminants in non-human biota. The core of the approach is a population model combining the action of pollutants with ecological factors for a given species. The impact of mixed stressors is predicted in terms of mortality, morbidity, and reproduction ability of the population, based on the analysis of damages to fecundity and self-repairing ability. This model is designed with regulatory application in mind, to evaluate the robustness of the benchmarks used in wildlife radiological assessment for “mixed stressor” situations. This is a concern for both regulators and the industry, particularly in NORM sites. The presentation will introduce the model design, an example of application, the model uncertainties and its intended application to sites containing NORM contamination.

During the training course the complete set of concepts, terms and activities that make up a scientific domain covering all NORM aspects (NORM body of knowledge) is consequently developed. The lectures given and active participation in exercises let trainees gather systematically all information about NORM (including radon), starting with general aspects and coherent definitions applicable, the methodology of NORM involving exposure situations identification, related hazard characterisation, details concerning monitoring methods planning and execution as well as appropriate measurement results interpretation. Recent outcomes of RadoNorm project on NORM and radon exposure situations inventory, characterisation, monitoring principles, management strategies developed and existing/possible mitigation options are introduced into the training course programme. Finally, trainees will acquire knowledge enabling consciously, effectively, and efficiently assess NORM hazard, manage situations when such hazard occurs, as well as develop of sustainable treatment of NORM residues/waste.

Event Details
The RadoNorm project aims at improved understanding of effects and risks from radon and NORM exposure situations to assure effective radiation protection based on improved scientific evidence and social considerations. However, radon is also a clinically approved treatment modality for a number of non-cancer diseases. What is the relationship between health risk and benefit when it is used as medication? The aim of the course is to look into this question and thus provide participants with a broader view of the impact of radon exposure on human health.
One of the oldest and most famous radon spas in the world is in Bad Gastein in Austria and one of the leading centres in research on the medical use of radon is the University Clinics in Erlangen. Participants of the course will learn why and how radon is used for pain reduction and treatment of auto-immune diseases. What are the benefits and what are the risks? The course will include a series of relevant lectures held at LMU, München, a visit of the Bad Gastein radon spa where patients are treated for various non-cancer diseases. There, the participants will experience a radon-treatment session. Finally, participants will visit the University Clinics Erlangen where basic and clinical research on radon therapy and effects of alpha particles is carried out. Radon measurements will be carried out in the Bad Gastein spa. Water and soil samples will also be collected and analysed for activity and content of radionuclides.

Event Details
The presence of radon as an odourless and colourless gas can be identified only through measurement. New building technologies on one side and reconstructions of existing buildings, which were quite often built without any protection against ingress of radon from soil gas on the other side, may pose a challenge for maintaining low exposure of the public to indoor radon.
A well-planned measurement campaign using modern measurement methods is usually the first but not only step towards optimised exposure.
Participants will gain new competencies in designing measurement campaigns with the objective of identifying radon sources indoors and sharing the results with an understanding of the functionality of radon preventive measures and remedial actions from the point of view of the technical state of the building and the presence of the radon sources.

Event Details
The main goal of this training course is to maintain and develop competences in radiochemistry. The aim is to train young researchers and professionals in measurement of specific natural radionuclides activity concentration. Theoretical knowledge about natural radionuclides behaviour in environment determining necessity their monitoring as well as advanced features of LSC and alpha-particle spectrometry will be provided. However, the most attention will be paid on development of practical competences in laboratory works. The participants will have an opportunity to gain manual skills and gather practical experience exercising rapid yet accurate and validated analytical techniques following the entire analytical chain starting with laboratory sample preservation, through dissolution, radionuclides of interest pre-concentration, chemical separation of interfering radionuclides and matrix components, ending with test specimen preparation. The relevant measurement, measuring instruments setting, necessary calibration rules and final interpretation of results obtained will crown each evaluation procedure.
