Abstract
The Nordic Society for Radiation Protection (NSFS) was founded in 1964 at the initiative of Rolf Sievert. Its task is to activate the exchange of knowledge and experience in the Nordic countries regarding protection against ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, for all kinds of occupational, medical, or public exposures. NSFS has always included members from all five Nordic countries and was a founding member of IRPA, the International Radiation Protection Association. Since 1966, NSFS has had regular meetings at 3- or 4-year intervals, in turn in each of the Nordic countries. In addition, NSFS has arranged various themed meetings. The meetings of the Society have been informal and collaborative and important for transfer of skills between generations. The activities have stimulated Nordic co-operation regarding nuclear safety research, nuclear waste, radioecology, medical radiology, and clinical physics, as well as Nordic postgraduate courses. NSFS lives up to the IRPA motto of being the international voice of the RP profession.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
