Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric computerized tomography and to optimise doses (EPI-CT)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
Diagnostic radiation represents an indispensable, sometimes life-saving, tool in modern medicine. However, the growing use of computerized tomography (CT) is a topic of concern in radiological protection, especially for children and adolescents. Children are generally more sensitive to the carcinogenic effects of ionizing radiation than adults. In addition, they have a longer life-span to express ...

Prospective cohort study of residents near the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site - feasibility (SEMI-NUC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
The health effects of exposures to fallout from Soviet nuclear weapons testing among the residents living nearby the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan are not well investigated. There are reports with contradicting results coming from the studies conducted on two independent cohorts: “historical” and “new”. Both use different control groups and dosimetric methods. The two cohorts have ...

Strategy for Allied Radioecology (STAR)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
With a renewed interest in nuclear energy and the scientific challenges related to the nuclear fuel cycle, the need for radioecological expertise is increasing world-wide. Concurrently, education related to radioecology has steadily declined, leading experts are approaching retirement, and funding for radioecological research is at a minimum in many European countries. To face this challenge and a ...

Towards a self sustaining European Technology Platform (NERIS-TP) on Preparedness for Nuclear and Radiological Emergency Response and Recovery (NERIS-TP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
This project aims on the one hand to keep the momentum gained through the European Project EURANOS in establishing a platform where the operational and research community can meet and discuss with all the relevant stakeholders the topics related to emergency response and recovery preparedness and on the other hand to tackle urgent research topics in the area of nuclear emergency response and recov ...
