THE 10th SYMPOSIUM OF THE CROATIAN RADIATION PROTECTION ASSOCIATION

The 10th Symposium of the Croatian Radiation Protection Association (CRPA) with international participation was held from 15 to 17 April 2015 in Šibenik, Croatia. It was organized by CRPA in collaboration with the Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health, Ruđer Bošković Institute and State Office for Radiological and Nuclear Safety. A total of 93 participants (73 from national scientific and research institutions, universities, health facilities, and private companies and 20 international participants from Bosnia and Hercegovina, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Macedonia, and Qatar) presented 65 papers, all printed in the Proceedings edited by Branko Petrinec, Tomislav Bituh, Nevenka Kopjar, and Mirta Milić, available at the CRPA web page www.hdzz.hr . The scientific program started with two introductory lectures: “Ten symposia of the Croatian Radiation Protection Association 1992 – 2015” by Ines Krajcar Bronić (CRPA President) and “The potential of fission nuclear energy in resolving global climate change” by Dubravko Pevec (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb). The scientific part of the symposium was divided into eight sections: General topics in radiation science and radiation protection ; Radiation dosimetry ; Biological effects of radiation ; Radiation Protection of the public ; Radiation protection in medicine ; Radioecology ; Non-ionizing radiation and Instrumentation and measuring techniques. There were 28 poster presentations and 37 oral presentations. Each oral presentation raised a lot of interest and resulted in a discussion. The award for the best poster presentation went to Katarina Marušić for her contribution “Protection of cultural heritage objects by ionizing radiation”. The city guided tour with a visit to the fortress of St. Michael was sponsored by the City of Šibenik, and a visit to Etnoland Dalmati was organized. During the conference dinner, participants were surprised by a special “birthday cake” for the occasion of the 10th symposium. Technical exhibition and sponsors contributed to the success of the symposium. The 10th Symposium of CRPA with international participation represented once again a unique opportunity to scientists and practitioners of various profiles to exchange knowledge and experience in the interdisciplinary field of radiation protection in a stimulating international environment.
