The impact of the events that have taken place at the Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear facility continue to be felt, even after the situation has
improved. Japan is now dealing with both the immediate effects,
including radiation risks, as well as the longer term issues related to
the safety of nuclear energy.
How can Japan assure other countries that products coming from the area
are safe? What could be a potential roadmap for the development of the
long-term radiation protection mechanisms? How can Japan help to ensure
the safety of nuclear power from here on?
Dr. Jens-Uwe Schmollack, Ph.D., Physicist, TUV Rheinland Industrie
Service, GmbH, will share his experience in Germany and Europe to
address how Japan might deal with these and other nuclear safety-related
questions. He will explain the current European and German industries'
perspective that all potentially hazardous supplies from Japan should
only be given permission to be exported if they have been found to be
contamination-free in a dependable and legally binding manner.
Dr. Schmollack is a radiation protection expert with 20 years of
experience in radiation protection and 13 years in nuclear power safety.
He has been involved in various projects worldwide for licensing of
nuclear facilities in the design, construction, operation and
decommissioning stages. He is currently advising various organizations
in regards to radiation protection guidelines and nuclear power safety concepts.
