>Since May of 2000, the EU Council Directive 96/29 EURATOM laying down basic
>safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the
>general public against the dangers of ionising radiation must be fully
>implemented in all member states.
>One important area, where this becomes relevant, are industries dealing
>with thorium in their starting materials, end products or waste streams,
>such as ceramics, aircraft, TIG welding, and many others. New requirements
>are created towards industry, authorities and testing laboratories both in
>terms of radiation protection in general and the determination of thorium
>and its isotopes in particular.
>
>A workshop related to these issues will take place soon in Mol, Belgium.
>The objectives of this workshop are to provide a forum for European
>Industry, Testing Laboratories and Regulatory Authorities
>ˇ to give an overview on thorium analytical requirements,
>ˇ to discuss the latest developments in analytical techniques applied to
>low level thorium analysis in the workplace,
>ˇ to promote best practice and
>ˇ to disseminate information and knowledge to European Regulatory Bodies
>and industry.
>
>Topics covered in the workshop
>
>-Introduction and background to problems of low level thorium analysis in
>complex matrices
>-Dose models for low level radiation exposures
>-Compliance with new legislation governing low level radiation exposure
>-Analytical methods for thorium analysis
>-Current research activities and future R&D needs
>-Method standardisation, reference materials and proficiency testing
>
