Technical Meeting on the Disused Sealed Radioactive Sources Network
Objectives
The Disused Sealed Radioactive Sources Network (DSRS Net) was launched at the 63rd regular session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 2019, as one of a series of measures to strengthen international cooperation in nuclear, radiation and transport safety as well as radioactive waste management. Its objective is to support and enhance the sharing of international knowledge and experience in the safe and secure management of DSRS.
The main objective of this event is to discuss current practices and development in DSRS management in Member States and identify further technical support of the Agency to address Member States’ needs and gaps as an opportunity to review the DSRS-Net mission, structure, content and work programme and to provide recommendations on future activities in the short and medium term.
The following topics will be discussed during the event:
• Reports from international collaborative projects on DSRS management;
• Role of young professionals in DSRS management;
• Recent technical innovations that may support management of DSRS; and
• Enhancing knowledge sharing on DSRS management.
A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants provided that, in the IAEA’s view, the participant will make an important contribution to the event. There is no registration fee.
