The First Workshop on Operational Radiation Protection at High-Energy Accelerators took place at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in November 2005. More than 50 participants representing most of the high-energy accelerator laboratories discussed a wide range of topics, including regulatory aspects, environmental radiation protection, radioactive waste management, instrumentation, and training. Focus was on the exchange of experience in the various areas, based on 31 presentations followed by lively discussions which formed an important part of the workshop. All presentations as well as short summaries of the different sessions are available on the workshop webpage.
Furthermore, a mailing list has been created for the exchange of information on all topics of operational radiation protection (info-orp@cern.ch). If you would like to be added to the list, please send your request to Stefan Roesler.
