WORKSHOP
The RAD 2026 Conference will host a dedicated Workshop on Environmental Radioactivity and Radiation Protection, providing a unique platform for researchers in the field to present their outstanding work and engage in discussions with colleagues.
Topics covered include:
1. Environmental Radioactivity: Sources, Distribution, and Processes
- Terrestrial, marine, and cosmogenic radionuclides
- Radionuclide kinetics, mobility, and environmental modeling
- Radionuclides as tracers of environmental processes
- Radiochronology: 210Pb, 230Th/234U, 14C, 40K–40Ar, 40Ar/39Ar, 238U–206Pb, 235U–207Pb, 87Rb–87Sr, 147Sm–143Nd, 3H, 36Cl, 26Al–10Be dating
- Other chronometric methods: Luminescence dating (OSL, TL), Cosmogenic nuclide dating
2. Measurement Techniques, Radiochemistry, and Analytical Developments
- Radiochemistry and quality assurance
- New measurement techniques
- Advances in analytical technologies and reference materials
3. Radiation Monitoring, Mapping, and Facility-Related Impacts
- Radiological monitoring of nuclear facilities
- Environmental impacts of nuclear facilities and decommissioning
- Radiation accidents, Radon, and Thoron mapping
4. Environmental and Public Exposure: Assessment and Mitigation
- Dose assessments
- Radionuclide content in food, water, and building materials
- Radon mitigation and NORM-related issues
5. Regulations, Standards, and Emerging Challenges
