Ionising and Non Ionising Radiation Protection Issues in the Environment and Workplaces

Dear Colleagues,

The Annual National Radiation Protection Conference organized by the Italian Radiation Protection Association (AIRP) and held in Rome from the 29th September to the 1st  October, was a timely and long-awaited event for the Italian radiation protection community: it was necessary to resume contacts and share experiences after the forced limitations due to the pandemic.

The Conference, held in-person and online simultaneously, provided the Italian radiation protection community with an opportunity to discuss the most advanced and interesting radiation protection issues. The scientific program of the Conference covered the most important radiation protection fields: medical and health physics; decommissioning nuclear power plants; fusion reactors; accelerators; environmental radioactivity with a special emphasis on radon and NORM; non-ionizing radiation with the emerging and challenging issue of the measurement of the exposure due to 5G technology.

This Special Issue contains a selection of some of the best papers, chosen from over seventy that were presented in the Conference, but is also open to contributions from researchers on the topics presented within.
