Bonn Call-for-Action

From 3 to 7 December 2012, the International Conference on Radiation Protection in Medicine was held in Bonn. The Conference was organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and hosted by the Government of Germany through the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). During the conference the "Bonn Call-for-Action" was developed comprising 10 different actions which, if implemented, could considerably reduce unnecessary and unintended exposures and the resulting risk for the public.

The "Bonn Call-for-Action" was published as a joint position statement by the IAEA and WHO.
