December 2020 SRP in BBC Documentary on Chernobyl Wildfires
A BBC news documentary on the Chernobyl Wildfires was released on 22 December ; it highlights how perception of radiation and the psychological impacts can be more dangerous than the exposures themselves . President , Pete Bryant , contributed to the documentary and advised members “ As radiation protection professionals , we have an obligation to help inform the public so they can make their own decision on what is a safe level of radiation . It ' s fantastic that SRP was able to contribute to this work , in particular in helping to explain the science behind radiation dose . I look forward to SRP being able to work with the BBC and other news agencies in the future .”
