The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is an independent, charitable organization dedicated to advancing radiological protection science with respect to ionizing radiation for the public good. Its recommendations and guidance are widely used by regulators, including the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Jack Valentin served as the ICRP's Scientific Secretary from 1997 to 2008. In this webinar, he will share insights and anecdotes behind the development of the System of Radiological Protection. He will also speak to ongoing discussions and what the future might bring. He promises he will include stories of Canada’s role in global radiation protection.

As the webinar is part of our ongoing Radiation Safety and Wellness Webinar Series, the final 20 minutes will be a wellness break of beginner Tai Chi with Charlmane Wong of Ji Hong Tai Chi and Qi Gong Richmond Hill.
