The Society for Radiological Protection is the leading UK society and registered charity which aims to promote learning and skills in the area of radiation protection, to improve education and establish and maintain professional standards in the field. It is the largest society of its kind in Europe, and second largest in the world. In 1998 the SRP was affiliated to IRPA, the International Radiation Protection Association, as the UK Associate Society. The society jointly publishes the Journal of Radiological Protection. The current president is Pete Cole. == History == Originally the UK branch of the US Health Physics Society, The Society for Radiological Protection was founded in 1963. The society was renamed as The Society for Radiological Protection when the formal connection with the Health Physics Society was dissolved two years later. The later part of the decade saw the adoption of a constitution and the first awards of Honorary Fellowships. The society started issuing the Certificate of Professional Competence in Operational Health Physics in 1979. This was later transferred to a separate legal entity: RPA2000. The Journal of Radiological Protection was started in 1981, and is currently published by Institute of Physics Publishing. In 1996, the society developed the first NVQ standards in radiation protection, which were accredited in April 1997. In 2000, the society set up RPA2000 with The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine; the Institute of Radiation Protection and the Association of University Radiation Protection Officers. RPA2000 is the sole certifier of competence in radiation protection practice.〔.

The society received its royal charter in 2007, and in 2008 registered as charity number 1122804. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Society for Radiological Protection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
