13 December, 2007	The impact of radionuclides released from hospitals to water sewage systems   Workshop in connection with the NKS-B LUCIA project at Statens Strålevern, Oslo.   The workshop will consider the tools available for radiological assessments of liquid radioactive discharges from hospitals as well as measurements performed in sewage systems. At the workshop the results obtained through studies (experimental and modelling) conducted in association with the LUCIA project will be presented, invited speakers will give presentations in related areas, a demonstration of the prediction tool, based on the model LUCIA, will be given.

24 – 25 January 2008	NKS-B Seminar on Sampling and Measurement, Reykjavik, Iceland Registration - Deadline 19 December Sampling is an often neglected part of radioecological assessments, yet it is usually the main source of uncertainty. The seminar will focus on various aspects of sampling, both in traditional radioecology (terrestrial, aquatic) but also including new challenges in emergency response situations.  This can be related to the more general question, how well can we through our measurements assess the quantities and parameters we want to assess and are they the right parameters? Invited speakers include (apart from Nordic specialists in radioecology): Marian Scott (professor, University of Glasgow): Environmental sampling-statistical principles and practice Gabriele Voigt (Head, IAEA laboratories, Seibersdorf): The ALMERA soil sampling intercomparison exercise Brenda J Howard (Head of Site, CEH Lancaster): Recent work in the UK on Best Practice Techniques for Environmental Monitoring Phil J Tattersall (Head, Operational Protection Department, HPA): The UK Health Protection Agency’s response to the polonium-210 incident in London 2006 Björgvin Sigurðsson (Reykjavik Metropolitan Police, Technical Division): Working and sampling on a possible crime scene (titles are indicative, they might change) Contact person: Sigurður Emil Pálsson, programme manager, NKS-B.

DOKUMENTATION FOR SEMINARIER
	NKS-B status seminar 2007 28-29 August 2007, Statens strålevern, Oslo, Norway The aim of this seminar is to provide a forum where not only results of ongoing and concluded work within NKS-B can be presented, but also suggestions for work that could be undertaken within the NKS-B programme. The programme manager of NKS-R will give a presentation of the programme and ongoing work there. The timing of the seminar was chosen to be good with respect to preparing proposals for work to be supported in 2008 (see above).  The seminar is intended to be a forum where new proposals can be discussed and project groups formed. It may be possible to refund travel expenses for participants giving presentations at the seminar; this needs however to be negotiated with the Programme Manager beforehand. Please indicate as soon as possible if you would be interested in participating in the seminar For more information: - Introduction - Agenda (updated) - How to get to NRPA where the seminar is held Contact person: Sigurður Emil Pálsson, programme manager, NKS-B e-mail:  sep@gr.is
