International Symposium on
IN SITU NUCLEAR METROLOGY AS A
TOOL FOR RADIOECOLOGY
13-16 October I 2008 Rabat, Morocco
Organized by
National Center for Energy, Science and Nuclear
Techniques (CNESTEN), Morocco
in co-operation with
This symposium, which is the natural continuation of the
previous INSINUME conferences, held in Fleurus-Belgium,
Albena-Bulgaria and Kusadasi-Turkey, has a dual purpose.
First of all, it wants to bring together Radioecologists,
Regulatory Authorities as well as Radiological Monitoring
System Operators, in order to allow a wide exchange of
information regarding practical experience and difficulties
encountered in daily radiological monitoring of
environment.
On the other hand, the symposium intends to focus on the
modern nuclear metrological tools, which could be used
nowadays to ease the direct remote surveillance of the
radiological status of seas, rivers, lakes and earth surface.
In the past, these tools were suffering from a lack of
sensitivity and reliability and were for that reason mainly
used for health physics control that did’nt require such a
high accuracy. New systems are now at the disposal of
mathematical model users and radioecologists for
investigating radioactive contaminants dispersion in normal
conditions as well as in case of incidents.
On basis of acquired experience and metrology progress,
the final object of the symposium is to help the
environment radioprotection world, to harmonise its rules,
and thus to perform in the future a realistic and useful
radiological monitoring.
