The link below outlines the Guidelines for managing naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) in Canada.
These guidelines are strictly for the management of NORM in industry. They do not apply to exposures to radionuclides that may arise from nuclear power production, the nuclear fuel cycle or other artificial sources regulated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The CNSC does not regulate NORM except for the import, export and transport of the material.
Of course, the best way to interact with all of these new networking connections is in person, and you can do just that at the Annual Conference. Each year CRPA holds our annual conference and meeting in a different Canadian location. The conference includes scientific sessions and workshops that promote the discussion of all aspects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Many vendors attend every year, bringing their brand new devices as well as their tried-and-true models and other services.
There are also training opportunities so you can either learn new concepts or get some refresher training in areas where you’re a bit rusty. And of course, there are plenty of opportunities to socialize with colleagues at the banquet or each evening in the hospitality suite. This is a great environment to have some informal discussions outside of the confines of the office –you can finally ask the regulator that question you’ve been dying to get out in a relaxed, tension-free environment.
