Personnel expertise

I am engaged in the area of safety and protection for 20 years. There are concerned as follows in 1987-1998: research on methodology for the assessment of

dose to the public safety analysis and environmental impact

assessment of nuclear facilities, such as RR, NPP, Nuclear fuel cycling facility, etc.

research on aerial monitoring technology used for nuclear and radiological emergency monitoring

1999-now: as vice-president of CIAE, in charge of nuclear

safety, radiation safety, waste safety, and environmental protection in CIAE

research on Energy and the Environment research on strategy and policy for the

minimization of Radwastes in China R&D on emergency monitoring system for

combating nuclear terrorism

professor, CNNC Graduate School

Personnel expertise

Since the early of 1980s, the optimization principle had been a provision in National Regulations on Radiation Protection.

In the year of 1990, a National Advisory Group on the implementing of ALARA was established in the former Ministry of Nuclear Industry (MNI) of China, and now the CNNC, and under it there is a National ALARA Center in CIRP, an ALARA Committee in each Nuclear Facility Operator.

Some researches and practices of the application of ALARA were made by the CIAE, NPP, etc.

Implement of ALARA

Cases of ALARA Application of ALARA into the discharging

scheme of RR in a site without receiving water body

Application of ALARA into the residual content of U, Pu, and Am in the decommissioning of a nuclear facility site

Application of ALARA into the determination of discharging concentration of liquid effluents in NNP

Application of ALARA into the management of Radwastes in NNP

Case of ALARA

Application of ALARA into the determination of natural nuclides concentration used for construction materials

Application of ALARA into the design of radioisotope production facility

Application of ALARA in national training course on competent radiation protection persons

National expectation to ALARA Network

to be shared with knowledge and experiences of ALARA good practice by national regulatory, experts, etc.

To be a forum on discussion and argumentation against radiation protection issues

To be a platform to exchange safety and protection information by regulatory staffs within Asian Member States, the RPO of operation organization

National expectation to ALARA Network

To be a public web site (only part of it) for the general member to the public to read the good practice of RP within Asian region

National representative, or correspondents will be assigned by the member states government

Newsletter will be issued periodically

How to establish it, and what are its style and characteristics?

What experiences should be learnt for the similar networking, such as ANSN, EAN, RaSaReN, etc.

How to operate and maintain it? By Department of the IAEA, any member states?

Some issues to be discussed

Proposals

The provisional acronym ARAN (Asian Region ALARA Network) is Ok for my personnel option

A task team or group is needed, and its members should mainly be from the future operation organization of the network, and staffs of the IAEA, and

An Asian steering committee would also be necessary in the establishment and operation of the network.
