Collaboration between radiological protection professionals and applied.

Collaboration between radiological protection professionals and applied ethicists in these and other related workshops has resulted in significant progress, including identifying and characterising some of the key values that underlie the system of radiological protection. A second series of regional workshops is planned for 2015, including meetings in Madrid (Spain) February 4-6, Fukushima City (Japan) June 2-4, and this one in Cambridge (USA) March 10-12.
