The European Radon Week 2021 will be held in Fribourg, Switzerland, between the 11^th and 15^th of October 2021, on the blueFACTORY site. This week will gather European Radon experts in one place, thereby catalyzing knowledge transfer between participants.

Five different events will be held during this week:

• Training course: Building protection against radon risk
• EU-RAP first regional workshop
• ERA Workshop: International Collaborations on Radon
• ERA General Assembly
• ROOMS 2021

A decade since the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP, Fukushima is still setting a precedent for emergency and recovery management. In April 2021, the Japanese government announced its approval of the offshore release of water used to cool the damaged Fukushima Daiichi NPP reactors that has been accumulating in onsite storage tanks.

The planned water release is raising many pressing questions regarding technical issues, radiological effects on the environment, international agreements, ethical considerations, and consequences for post-accident management.

Taking up on these questions, this webinar gathers experts from different fields including citizen scientists, radioecologists, ethicists, emergency managers, national authorities, and international organisations.

Confirmed speakers:

• Ms. Yuki Tanabe, Nuclear Accident Response Office, Japan
• Dr. Thierry Schneider, ICRP, CEPN, France
• Prof. Jordi Vives i Batlle, SCK CEN, Belgium
• Mr. Azby Brown, SAFECAST, Japan
• Prof. Deborah Oughton, CERAD/NMBU, Norway
• IAEA representative

The webinar will be moderated by Joke Kenens, PhD candidate and SHARE member.

10 years after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, IRSN invites the participants of this workshop to discuss the results of different research projects in the domain of Social Sciences and Humanities. These projects aimed at understanding and drawing lessons from this major accident. They were conducted by IRSN in the framework of the AGORAS Project cofounded by the French Nuclear safety and radiation protection research program​.

These research projects highlight the question of developing the nuclear safety organisations capability to tackle the unpredictable during the crisis management and at the time of the design of the plants

•  Involvement in a hostile environment: lessons learnt from the Fukushima Daiichi accident – Olivier Isnard, Elsa Gisquet
• ​Tackling the unpredictable through crisis exercises – Elsa Gisquet, Patricia Dupuy, Said Khemlie

• ​After Fukushima, restoring confidence in the robustness of French nuclear plant – Mathias Roger, Olivier Loiseau ​
  Preventing the accident in the daily operation of plant – Nicolas Dechy, Hervé Bodineau
