Abstract

The Eleventh Symposium of the Croatian Radiation Protection Association (CRPA) with international participation was held in Osijek, Croatia, April 5 – 7, 2017. The Symposium was attended by ninety participants: seventy of them came from Croatian scientific research and government institutions, universities, health and economy sector, and twenty participants from abroad (representatives from Denmark, Hungary, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia). The following subjects were covered: general topics in the science of radiation and radiation protection, ethics and culture in radiation protection, radiation protection in medicine, biological effects of radiation, radiation dosimetry, instrumentation and measurement techniques, radioecology, exposure of the general population to radiation, radon and non-ionizing radiation. The main theme of the Symposium “Ethics and Culture in radiation protection” comprised four lectures, held by Ines Krajcar Bronić (Ethical principles in radiation protection), Jelena Popić Ramač (Culture of radiation protection in medicine), Maria Ranogajec Komor (Ethics of ionizing radiation protection in pediatric radiology of the upper respiratory tract) and Sanja Dolanski Babić (What do students at the Medical Faculty in Zagreb can learn about radiation protection in their physics education). A total of 61 papers were presented at the Symposium, including 35 oral and 26 poster presentationsThe presentations have drawn the attention to some Important issues raised include: inadequate translation from English into the Croatian language of the European Commission's laws, directives and recommendations concerning various aspects of ionizing radiation protection ; harmonization of conditions for radiation protection experts (RPE) and medical physics experts (MPE) ; problem of finding a radioactive waste disposal site in the Republic of Croatia ; implementation of the EU directive on the protection against radon exposure both to the general population and to the professionally exposed groups.
