INFORMATION SHEET
Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in co-operation with several national and international institutions (to be announced later)
is organizing the INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON IN SITU NUCLEAR METROLOGY AS A TOOL FOR RADIOECOLOGY (INSINUME'2010) to be held on 20-23 October 2010 in Dubna, Russia.
Dubna is a science town allocated 130 km north of Moscow on the banks of the Volga River.
Since 2005 the city is under construction of special economic zone "Dubna" for development of modern technologies.
The International University of Nature, Society and Man of Dubna, Choir Studios, symphony orchestra, and sport complexes
make the town an educational and cultural centre of the Russian Federation.
JINR is a world-known centre where the fundamental research is successfully integrated with the development of
new technologies, application of the latest techniques, and university education. JINR is a genuine international institution
comprising 18 member states and 7 associated member states. The main fields of JINR's activity are theoretical and experimental
studies in elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and radiobiology. The name "Dubnium" was
assigned to element 105 of the Periodic Table in recognition of the achievements of JINR's staff of researchers and their
contribution to modern physics and chemistry.
This Symposium is the 5th in the series of INSINUME conferences, previously held in Rabat-Marocco (2008),
Kusadasi-Turkey (2006), Albena-Bulgaria (2004) and Fleurus-Belgium (2002).
The scope of the Symposium:
- New technologies and methodologies applied to measurements of radionuclides in situ and in the laboratory.
- Transfer of radionuclides in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; assessment of exposure to man and ecosystem
- Management of environmental crises related to nuclear accidents including social and economic aspects.
- Safety standards for radiation protection of the public and the environment; assessment and quality management.
- Development of national and international databases for their exchange among scientists and information to the general public.
- Mapping and modeling of radioactive contamination using GIS-technologies.
- Utilization of nuclear and non-nuclear wastes: new technologies, policy and legislation of the European Union.
It may also include other topics relevant to the trend of the Symposium.
