International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) The international voice of the radiation protection profession in the enhancement of radiation protection culture and practice worldwide.

IRPA Countries The IRPA membership comprises about 18000 individual members representing 50 national and regional Associate Societies in 65 countries.

The primary purpose of IRPA is to provide a medium whereby those engaged in radiation protection activities in all countries may communicate more readily with each other and through this process advance radiation protection in many parts of the world. This includes relevant aspects of such branches of knowledge as science, medicine, engineering, technology and law, to provide for the protection of people and the environment from the hazards caused by radiation, and to thereby facilitate the safe use of medical, scientific, and industrial radiological practices for the benefit of mankind. It is a major task for IRPA to provide for and support international meetings for the discussion of radiation protection. The International Congresses of IRPA are the most important of these meetings. These have been held about every four years since 1966, in between these events there are also a series of regional Congresses.

IRPA14 Programme

For all Associate Societies of IRPA and individual members, it is an important objective to attend the next International IRPA Congress. For many other related professions it is an excellent opportunity to communicate on the achievements, scientific knowledge and operational experience in radiation protection.

Welcome Message from IRPA President It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 14th International Congress of IRPA in Cape Town, South Africa – the first time that the IRPA international congress takes place on the African Continent. The mission of IRPA, and hence the primary scope of the Congress, is to provide a medium for a more effective communication among radiation protection professionals in order to advance radiation protection worldwide by facilitating the safe application of medical, scientific, and industrial radiological practices for the benefit of mankind. The International Congress Program Committee has prepared an interesting programme, outstanding in quality and providing the chance for practitioners to discuss challenges faced in radiation protection both today and tomorrow. Since the last international IRPA congress the young practitioners are in the focus of several IRPA activities. During this congress 20 young professionals will present their work and take part in the competition for the IRPA Young Professional Award. I recommend that you give particular attention to the work of the coming generation in radiation protection. Because we have the world’s leaders in radiation protection participating in the IRPA14 Congress, we have organized a “University Day on Radiation Protection” at the university in Cape Town on Thursday. Students from all scientific disciplines at the university will listen to the lectures on radiation protection. This full day of expert lectures will be webcast so that everybody in the world can follow this event. The International Congress Organisation Committee has arranged the requirements for a successful congress including an exciting technical and scientific exhibition, and they have developed distinguished social activities. Please use these unique opportunities. A further highlight of the IRPA14 Congress is the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of IRPA on Wednesday. In two panel discussions we will be dedicated to two prominent topics – scientific achievements in radiation protection mirrored at the Sievert Lectures and key challenges of an NGO in radiation protection. In particular during the second panel discussion I expect engaged contributions from the participants on IRPA’s way forward and the challenges faced by our Associate Societies. But this is not the only possibility for your contributions: The members of the IRPA Executive Council will have their business program during the week and are available for public discussions at any time. You will be able to participate in the discussions during the scientific sessions, and meet up with colleagues from around the world and discuss our common challenges. I am confident that IRPA14 will provide an excellent opportunity for exchanging information, knowledge and results in radiation protection science, for facilitating radiation protection culture and ethics, and for enhancing public communication on the system of protection. After the congress we will be a step further in completing the vision of IRPA to be the international voice of the radiation protection profession.

Welcome from the Congress President It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 14th IRPA International Congress, co-hosted by the South African Radiation Protection Societies (SARPA and SARPS) and being held in the beautiful mother city of Cape Town in South Africa. I am indeed honoured to announce that it is the first time in the 50 year history of IRPA congresses that this prestigous global congress comes to the African continent. During IRPA14 we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of IRPA and acknowledge the substantial contributions to both science and the practical and safe application of radiation that IRPA and its associate societies have made over the last 5 decades. Under the theme of “Practising Radiation Protection - Sharing the experience and new challenges”, the International Congress Programme Committee (ICPC) has developed a high quality and vibrant congress programme addressing both ionizing and nonionizing radiation. The programme will unfold in a series of keynote presentations, parallel scientific sessions, poster sessions, panel discussion sessions and plenary summaries. Included in the programme are presentations from the winners of the prestigious Sievert Award and Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Gold Medal for Radiation Protection Award. Furthermore, the programme includes a series of refresher training courses to be presented in early morning sessions. The IRPA14 will examine the evolution of radiation protection since its inception; review the scope of the science and practice of radiation protection; highlight the good practices and challenges faced by the radiation protection fraternity and conclude with proposals on the expected way forward with the identified challenges. To showcase the work of young scientist and professionals, twenty young professionals, nominated by their societies, will compete for the IRPA Young Scientist and Professional’s Award. Prizes will be awarded to the top three candidates during the closing ceremony on the last day of the Congress. In keeping with the focus of empowering young professionals the IRPA14 University Day is planned for Thursday. The University Day programme features lectures by prominent professionals in the field of radiation protection, addressing the current status of radiation protection, evolution of radiation protection philosophy and experience feedback. The IRPA14 also provides presenters the opportunity of having their papers published in a peer reviewed journal. I trust that many of you will take advantage of this opportunity. On behalf of the IRPA14 International Congress Organising Committee (ICOC) I would like to wish you a constructive five days of stimulating discussions, a wonderful celebration of IRPA’s success over the past 50 years and success in networking and exchanging information with your fellow professionals. On a personal note I do hope you find some time to experience the generous South African hospitality and enjoy the amazing tourist attractions in the Southern tip of the African continent.

Scientific Programme An overview by Jack Valentin, Chair of the International Congress Programme Committee Optimisation, the backbone and very core of radiological protection, requires that one accepts that every silver lining has a cloud. Or, putting it in more familiar terms, that benefits have associated costs. Evaluating those costs and benefits inevitably involves judgemental components, so different people may end up with different optimisation results. This applies also to the optimisation of an IRPA Congress programme. The Programme Committee has tried, based on our perceptions of benefits and costs, to devise an optimised programme, and while we hope and believe that our choices are well underpinned, there are some drawbacks. Other choices would have entailed other drawbacks, and the many excellent abstracts submitted ensure that IRPA14 will be a delight and a memorable occasion.

The Congress Theme The basis for the scientific programme is the Congress Theme: Practising Radiation Protection – Sharing the Experience and New Challenges This theme focuses on the fact that we are the professionals of radiological protection. When practising our profession, we learn from each other and help each other to face new, unexpected developments. These include improved technologies permitting better protection, the increased presence of radiation in society, and response to radiation emergencies. All of us will recognise this panorama as part of our professional lives; the rapid development in African countries means that these changing perspectives are evident perhaps more than anywhere else.

The Principles A guiding intention has been to achieve a simple, comprehensible structure with a limited number of different kinds of presentation. Thus, basically there are just four different types: • The posters, which form the bulk of the scientific input, have the advantage that all participants are likely to at least see briefly all posters, and serve as effective vehicles for participants to find likeminded people and strike up new contacts and collaborations. • The proffered oral presentations in parallel sessions, where specialists meet other specialists and those who are interested in becoming specialists on a topic. • The Keynote oral presentations in parallel sessions, where new or particularly challenging topics are highlighted, sometimes with longer presentations than the standard oral presentations. • The plenary presentations, all given by invited top experts in our profession – these ensure that we stay committed to the state of the art. Most oral presentations follow the traditional sequential pattern, but where relevant we are also using panel and forum formats. We have been keen to give every speaker a fair chance to have their say. Therefore, we have avoided ultra-short presentations and are only using 15-minute, and sometimes initial 30-minute, slots. Unfortunately, this limits the number of oral presentation slots, but we believe it leads to better presentations. It also simplifies transfers between different lecture halls for those with an interest in more than one of the concurrent sessions.

IRPA14 Programme

The Mechanics Refresher Courses: The first four days will begin with a series of 20 Refresher Courses which offer training and updating opportunities to participants. The courses are accredited by the American Academy of Health Physics for Continuing Education Credits (1 CEC each; ID 201605-001) and course details will be available to support accreditation by any other Associate Society for relevant Continuing Professional Development (or equivalent) schemes. Workshops: A small number of ‘hands-on’ workshops and commercial presentations are also provided. Scientific presentations: Based on initial theoretical considerations and on the influx of abstracts, we have organised all presentations, poster as well as oral, into Areas representing different specialities. Each Area has a poster ‘walkabout’ and at least two oral presentation sessions. The Areas are not Cartesian, clearly separate, or mutually exclusive – a pragmatic approach was necessary and meant that there is some overlap between Areas. There are eleven topical Areas: 1. Fundamental science 2. Policy, standards, and culture 3. Medical 4. General ionising radiation protection 5. Justification, optimisation, and design of new facilities 6. Radiation detection and dosimetry 7. Environment and natural background 8. Transport and sealed sources management 9. Non-ionising radiation 10. Emergency preparedness and management 11. Decommissioning, waste management, and remediation Furthermore, there are two thematic Areas: 1. Associated Societies presentations (only posters) 2. Russian Health Studies Special Sessions (only oral presentations)

International NIR Workshop On May 9 - 11, 2016, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) will hold its 8th International NIR Workshop in conjunction with the IRPA14 Congress. The major findings of this Workshop will be presented during the final scientific plenary of the IRPA International Congress. This landmark event signifies the dedicated co-operation and collaboration between ICNIRP and IRPA in order to optimise the safe and effective use of resources by practitioners of radiation protection. More information on the ICNIRP 8th International NIR Workshop is available at www.icnirp.org.

50-Year Celebration The fiftieth anniversary of international collaboration amongst radiation protection professionals worldwide, under the IRPA banner, will be celebrated with a session dedicated to the achievements and milestones that have marked this period. The session will be an important part of the scientific programme and will highlight the scientific topics underpinning our profession, the issues we have faced and can expect, and the lessons learned so far. It will provide a unique insight into the role and influence of professional societies and IRPA in the evolving world of radiation safety.

IRPA14 Programme

Technical Exhibition The technical exhibition is a significant part of the scientific offering provided by IRPA14, and will give delegates the opportunity to sample the latest technical developments in all the fields in which radiation protection is playing an active role. Sponsored commercial presentations will give opportunities for delegates to be made aware of the products, services and capabilities of commercial companies and organisations.

30


Electronic and Digital Aspects The Congress will make use of best current electronic and digital technologies, and delegates are advised to bring relevant electronic devices such as laptops and tablets with them. The programme, abstracts, submitted papers and poster PDFs will all be available for a short period in advance of the Congress and will be Wi-Fi accessible throughout the Congress. This will permit delegates to optimise their personal programme tailored to their interests. All PowerPoint presentations will be filed on the website shortly after delivery, together with audio-visual input where available. Refresher Course downloads will only be available to non-attendees on payment of an additional fee. There will be a limited programme of live webcasts of selected presentations for use by Associate Societies and relevant organisations around the world. Modern communication methods, involving approaches such as blogs and tweets, will be used during the principal discussion sessions in order to help identify the key issues and questions. All the Congress programme content and output will be migrated to the IRPA website approximately six months after the Congress.

Business Programme Before and during the congress, a series of meetings will allow the appointed Associate Societies’ participants to review the actions of IRPA and prepare for the future. In order to facilitate the course of the Scientific Programme, the IRPA Associate Societies Forum will be held on Sunday 8 May. It will provide an opportunity to discuss common issues and to develop ideas concerning the running of IRPA. All Associate Societies are strongly encouraged to ensure that they are represented at the Forum, and all Congress delegates may also participate. The General Assembly to be held on the Wednesday afternoon will be the principal part of the business programme during which some 150 formally nominated Associate Society delegates, representing the Associated Societies, will elect the officers and members for the next Executive Council that will operate during the 2016 - 2020 period. It will also conduct other formal business, including confirming the venue for the next International Congress (IRPA15) scheduled for 2020 and the selection of the prime candidate for the 2024 Congress. Additional IRPA committee and commission meetings will be announced by the IRPA Executive.

Refresher Courses The Refresher Course programme provides delegates with the opportunity to update their knowledge in specific areas of radiation protection science and practice. The courses are aimed at providing a broad overview of the current state of a given topic, thereby giving delegates not working directly in that field a sound understanding of the current status, and at giving experienced practitioners a more detailed understanding of up-to-date developments in a field. Twenty refresher courses are scheduled to be delivered by selected instructors according to their outstanding expertise and competence in teaching. The courses are offered in five parallel sessions each morning, Monday through Thursday, beginning at 07:30. The list below presents outline information on the course schedule.

Christoph Trauernicht UCT

Meeting Room Description Regarding the biological effects of ionising radiation there is evidence of some degree of individual susceptibility in humans (up to 25 % of the population). Individual susceptibility to ionising radiation has 3 features which are related to different mechanisms and pathways: 1- sensitivity with the complications of radiation therapy in the absence of error 1.4 in the dose delivery, 2- esthesia which is a radiation related cancer proneness, and 3- degeneration with late effects on tissues, i.e., cataracts. Modern radiation biology means of investigation allow to identify those persons, especially patients, and may help in the near future the screening of people for preventive and personalized medicine. This course will give an overview of current CT dosimetry techniques, including recent developments for modern wide beam scanners. Optimisation methods for patient exposures 1.6 will be reviewed, including both equipment & technique factors, and the correct utilisation of new dose-saving features on modern CT equipment will be discussed. The management systems concept for radiation safety has evolved over a number of years. The concept has developed from quality control through quality assurance and quality management to the present day integrated management system. The concept involves systematic planning, controlled 2.41 implementation and continuous review and assessment to assure high levels of quality in radiation safety and protection operations and supporting services. The course presents and discusses the management system for radiation safety and its evolution.

Emergency risk communication: Principles and challenges

Lecturer

Meeting Room Description A large variety of radiation sources is used in the oil and gas industry: radiation generators, including also neutron generators; sealed gamma and neutron sources; and unsealed radioactive sources as radiotracers. This large global industry is actively operating in many countries of the world (from the cold oil fields near the pole to the arid environments of the Middle East), in a variety of extreme and harsh weather conditions which represent a significant technical challenge for man and his equipment. Moreover, oil & gas explorations (and, similarly, the mining industry), concentrate -during their operation- radioactive materials Mohammed which are naturally present in the ores. The accumulation Aref 2.44 of such 'Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials' (NORMs) Weatherford may lead to significant radiological exposure conditions both for operational radiation protection of Operators and for radioactive waste/material management (offering some vibrant regulatory implications for the protection of the environment, especially regarding regulation and destiny of resulting concentrated radioactive materials/waste). This RC will summarise the uses of radiation sources in the oil & gas and mining industries, and present radiological issues arising from NORMs in these fields, indicating some of the technical solutions and good practices which have been developed and agreed at an international level. Guidance from the IAEA and the ICRP will also be presented. 140 Characters to Tell what's Safe: How to tell the public in plain language what's safe and what's not has always been a challenge and is fiercely discussed. In the age of social Patrick media, when 140 characters is all you have to convey your Meschenmoser 2.6 message on Twitter, the challenge got even bigger. This IAEA workshop focuses on the need of plain language public communications during a radiation emergency and how the use of social media has changed the game.

DACTARI (Database for Chemical Toxicity and Radiotoxicity Assessment of Radionuclides), is a specific database available on the website (www.toxcea.org/index.php?pagendx=84) and presented under Mendeleyev Periodic table form, which provides selected data on chemical form of the compounds, and on acute or chronic toxicity including contamination route (ingestion, inhalation), lethal doses, target organs, intestinal and maternal-fetal transfer, drinking water guidelines, mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, doses per unit of intake, and information on contamination treatment or decorporation. This database currently contains 33 radionuclides. ICRP published updated recommendations for radiation protection in 2007 and the International and European Basic Safety Standards were subsequently revised to take account of the recommendations. The revisions included a restructuring to present the requirements for radiation protection and the safety of radiation sources in terms of planned, emergency and existing exposure situations considering occupational exposure, public exposure and medical exposure. It harmonised the requirements for exposure to both natural and artificial sources of radiation and updated a number of radiation protection criteria related to limitation of dose to the lens of the eye and from radon. The course summarises the revisions to the standards and more recently developed guidance on meeting the requirements.

Marcos Amaral SBPR

Meeting Room Description This refresher course will cover both the fundamental principles of internal radiation dosimetry and its practical applications. The ICRP models for intake, biokinetics and dosimetry will be reviewed as will the resulting dose 1.6 coefficients. Bioassay methods will be discussed, and the use of intake and retention fractions to relate bioassay results to intakes will be described. Finally, several examples of internal dose assessments will be presented to illustrate the use of the models. The course brings details regarding the radiological respiratory risks according types of radiation, physical forms and associated working environment. Presenting the surveys and controls, estimates of dose assessment, specification of respiratory protection and applicable engineering controls 2.44 on the job, also discussing the respiratory protection devices, filters and qualitative and quantitative fit tests, is possible the attendee to develop at least a basic respiratory protection program, based on the ANSI Z88.2 and on the best respirator protection standards over the world nuclear industry. This course will present a brief overview of methods currently being used in the US (and similarly in Canada) to establish acceptable levels of residual radionuclide contamination (e.g., Bq/gram in soil) that will meet the regulatory authority’s annual public dose limits and/or related radiological public risk based criteria. The approach allows the analyst to identify one or two specific radionuclides as the “reference nuclide(s)” based on reasonable assumptions as to its 2.6 “dominance” for dose delivery within the relevant exposure scenarios and pathways being considered. The course will describe and define the public exposure scenarios (living conditions and characteristics under which future exposure can occur) and the associated exposure pathways being applied to each of these major exposure scenarios. Several specific case studies will be presented that have been accepted by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) to demonstrate “real life” applications.

Managing Tony Colgan radionuclides in food IAEA and drinking water

Piet Bredell Nuclear Consultants cc

Meeting Room Description The basics of computational (Monte Carlo, deterministic and hybrid) methods used for radiation protection and dosimetry in the medical applications of ionizing radiation will be presented. The use of computational anthropomorphic phantoms in support of patient and organ dose calculations will be described. The usefulness of the aforementioned computational methods and phantoms in medical dosimetry (in radiodiagnostic, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy) will 2.6 be highlighted. Case studies will be discussed. The paradigm of the international system of radiological protection will be challenged, in view of on-going computational developments, namely the development of patient dependent phantoms for internal and external dosimetry in multiple exposure situations. Hot topics and future trends in computational dosimetry will be analysed. The transport of radioactive material is an expanding worldwide activity involving the delivery of products that are essential for public health, industry, agriculture, research, and energy production. Nuclear technologies have supported remarkable economic growth and health benefits in recent years in the world. This course will cover the interests of major stakeholders in the transport of radioactive materials, 2.41 including competent authorities, producers and transport organizations. The goal of the course is to foster greater understanding and cooperation between safety and security during transportation. The course presents and discusses the management system for competing risks relating to safety, security and timely delivery of radioactive material. An important consideration for the industry is public perceptions of the risk involved in the transport of radioactive material. Restricting the consumption of food and drinking water is one of the protective actions to be considered in the aftermath of a nuclear or radiological emergency. Such restrictions may continue well into the recovery phase, but there are many other situations in which elevated concentrations of radionuclides may be found in either food or drinking water. In circumstances where elevated concentrations are present over an extended period of time, some form of control or restriction may need to be considered. Radionuclides of natural origin will normally be present in both food and drinking water, albeit at concentrations that may be close to or below the detection limits of the measuring equipment. Radionuclides of artificial origin, arising from such as authorized discharges, the testing of nuclear weapons and 2.44 past nuclear accidents, may also be present. International standards and guidance dealing with radionuclides in food and drinking water have been developed for application in non-emergency situations. The International Basic Safety Standards establishes an individual reference level of 1 mSv in a year for such exposures as the starting point for their application at the national level. Actions to restrict the consumption of food and drinking water need to be both justified and optimized. For wild foods such as mushrooms, berries and game sourced from semi-natural ecosystems, some form of restriction may be necessary over several years. In the case of drinking water, it is often possible to remove dissolved radionuclides in a cost-effective manner but a program of long term monitoring should be maintained.

Meeting Room Description The use of wireless devices is becoming ubiquitous, with the fast deployment of novel technologies, especially for communications and entertainment. At the same time public concern on the potential health effects from the emitted non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation from wireless equipment is soaring. Therefore, compliance of human exposure with the corresponding guidelines is essential to assure protection. In the far-field of sources measurements Theodoros Non-ionising can be either broadband or frequency-selective. The former Samaras radiation are faster to perform and require cheaper equipment than Aristotle 1.4 the latter; however, they do not provide specific information measurements and University of as to the contribution of various wireless technologies to the compliance testing Thessaloniki total exposure. The duration of measurements can also vary, since these can be spot measurements (in situ), which reflect a time-snapshot of the electromagnetic environment, or continuous, aiming at monitoring the fields at a specific point. The methodology and necessary equipment for conducting all these measurements, as well as the respective standards, recommendations and guidelines involved, will be discussed during the course. Imaging is increasingly used in many steps of the external beam radiotherapy treatment-chain, including in treatment planning, treatment delivery and treatment evaluation. Image-guided radiotherapy is a rapidly growing field. These imaging devices may use ionising radiation or non-ionising RP challenges in Ola Holmberg radiation. When using ionising radiation, justification as well 1.6 radiotherapy imaging IAEA as optimisation of protection and safety must be observed. The lecture will explore these challenges for radiation protection in radiotherapy imaging, as well as safety-learning from incidents and other events involving radiotherapy imaging devices and procedures. To protect the skin of the whole body, the extremities and the lens of the eye, separate dose limits are recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). These separate dose limits are needed because Monitoring of dose in case of localised exposures the organ doses to the skin Filip Vanhavere to lens, skin, and and the lens of the eye can exceed these limits even when 2.6 SCK•CEN the effective doses may be lower than its limit. Specific extremities dosimetry is needed to monitor these doses and to assess compliance with applicable limits. This refresher course will provide guidance on how and when this monitoring should be done, for all the different types of workplace fields. Sealed radioactive sources (SRS), when still in use, normally present very few problems. They are normally installed in different types of working shields and when applied in accordance with prescribed procedures provide for safe use. The management of sources, once they become disused, Radiation protection present many radiation protection challenges. These aspects related challenges are mostly encountered during the removal of to the handling Andy Tompkins disused sealed radioactive sources from their working shields 2.41 and the conditioning of the sources in order to prepare them and conditioning IAEA for disposal. Bare sources are handled and collected which, of disused sealed if not controlled properly, can lead to serious overexposure radioactive sources to workers. The refresher course will address the radiation protection protocols that should be implemented during Category 3 to 5 disused sealed radioactive source collection and conditioning operations while still allowing for effectively performing the respective conditioning activities. The course will give a brief overview of the current status of protection of the environment at international level. It Brenda Howard Protection of biota: will focus on the basis and application of currently available Centre for 2.44 models to make an assessment of the dose. Strengths and Methodologies and Ecology and weaknesses of the current approaches and their underlying assessment tools Hydrology data will be outlined. The use and potential abuse of currently used criteria will also be discussed.
