Publications

The “Low dose radiation risks: present research and future perspectives” ARW will lead to a book published within the NATO Science Series.  The book will be edited by MOTHERSILL, WOLOSCHAK, SCHOFIELD and TSAKANOVA.  Delivery of chapters for this book will be made a condition of attendance for invited speakers. This NATO ARW is also expected to lead to the publication of a peer-reviewed journal article on the state of the art and future directions of low dose radiation risks in the environment. There are defined sessions within this NATO ARW programme that are specifically focussed on planning the development and delivery of these outputs.

In addition to the publications mentioned above, the Organizing Committee will explore the possibility for a Special Issue/series of linked papers in an appropriate journal.
