Experience gaps caused by past radiological or nuclear incidents/accidents, as well as intergenerational knowledge and know-how transfer challenge the continuity of radiological protection best practices.
Concern over the availability of qualified radiological protection experts in the coming decade continues to be an issue for regulatory and industrial organisations.

More on the educational and transgenerational aspects, the International Radiological Protection School (IRPS) helps to prepare tomorrow’s radiological protection leaders by providing a deep understanding of why and how the radiological protection system has developed, the way it is applied and what that means.
