AbstractAbstract
[en] The present IAEA radiation protection programmes are described: the resources allocated to those contained within the Principal Programme on Technological Safety and on Physical Security amount to 105.429.000 US dollars for the biannual 2004-2005 period: that is: a specific radiological safety programme (radiological protection and safety of radiation sources) combined with a programme on radioactive materials transport safety, and another programme on the safe management of radioactive waste. The Programme on Radiological and Transport Safety contains sub-programmes on: improvements on radiological and transport safety infrastructures at national and global levels, information and communication networks on radiological safety, application of safety standards on IAEA's operations, occupational radiation protection, radiological protection of the patient, safety on the transport of radioactive materials and preparation and response to nuclear or radiological emergency situations. The Programme on Radioactive Waste also includes sub-programmes on: the improvement of radioactive waste infrastructures at national and global levels, networks of information and communication on radioactive waste management, safety policies and approaches for the final disposal of radioactive waste, technologies for the final disposal of radioactive waste, releases of radioactive materials to the environment under safe conditions, safe management of residual radioactive materials, technologies for the safe closure of installations and rehabilitation of sites and the safe management of sealed out-of-use sources. Finally, there are described the consultations with experts from IAEA Member States conducted during a great number of international Conferences, and the conversion of the received recommendations into Action plans, that approach the IAEA programmes to the changing needs of the world and to the scientific discoveries which are been produced.
