36th Conference of the Australasian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS) 2011

The Melbourne conference promises to be an exciting event with emphasis on the conference theme of Risk Perceptions: Safety and Security. At the present time there is a rapid increase in the introduction of new technologies in all radiation related fields. The actual risks of radiation from the new technologies often do not match the perceptions. This situation and other topics will be explored in detail by an interesting array of speakers. The ARPS 2011 Conference is the professional forum for the Australasian radiation protection community, providing significant opportunities to meet for information and idea exchange, further understanding of critical issues confronting society and the radiation protection, radiation security, health and environmental sectors.
