Passing of Ray de Groot

ARPS Honorary Fellow Ray de Groot passed away Wednesday 25th August, 2010. Our condolences to his family and friends.
 
The following brief thoughts have been provided by Dr Brad Cassels, Health Protection Branch, Department of Health, Melbourne.
 
Ray was a good age, but spent the last few years of his life in a nursing home with the usual maladies of old age. I last visited him around 12 months ago and he still had a razor sharp wit and was actively encouraging a further supply of good malted scotch.

CT scanners leave their mark

The New York Times has another article about poor radiation safety in medicine, and this time CT scanners are on their radar.

Its no wonder, given the amount of radiation these people must have had for hair loss to occur...

Review of the IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (TS-R-1) [updated information]

The IAEA is intending to update their Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material (TS-R-1) to:
  • take into account the TRANSSC 19 decisions on the issues requiring regulatory change (a summary of the key issues agreed are in the Annex); and
  • remain consistent with the review cycles of the UN Committee of Experts (which produces “model regulations” for the transport of all dangerous goods) and the various international modal organizations (which produce mode-specific dangerous goods regulations).
