On 25 June OECD/NEA and UNSCEAR secretariat signed an MoU for collaboration, sharing information and analysis on radiation science and research. This is a significant achievement and a very important step forward in strengthening the collaboration between our two organizations.

Last month, senior officials from UNSCEAR and ICRP met to sign an agreement that strengthens our collaboration moving forward. As we look to update our General Recommendations, this agreement will have a positive impact on the System of RP!
