2021 / 22 Highlights
Summer / Autumn 2021
The Annual Conference was held on 4-7 July in Bournemouth – a slightly later timeslot to usual but it was great that we were finally able to hold an in-person event . Elbow bump instead of handshakes though when Jim Thurston took over as SRP President from Pete Bryant .
ICRP begins a very important Review of the System of Radiological Protection which will update the 2007 General Recommendations in ICRP 103 . This is the beginning of a process that will take several years , involving open and transparent engagement with organisations and individuals around the world . SRP has created a Working Group in order to ensure membership input into this important Review .
