AOCRP is also placed as a regional congress of IRPA, and has a history of holding in Soul, Korea (AOCRP-1, 2002) and in Beijing, China (AOCRP-2, 2006).
Now we are going to AOCRP-3, 2010, in Tokyo, Japan. The world is in a big economical wave of recession. Nevertheless the activity progress of this region is inevitable. A step by step progress of this region's people life is a reality. The baseline of this process is a stable supply of energy which has a less impact to environment with less emission of CO2. As one of the effective way, strengthening of nuclear power plants is proposed and this wave is called as a nuclear renaissance. Not only nuclear business but also nuclear application in industry and medical fields are developing widely. Radiation safety and security are a foundation of these applications. Various fields; radiation protection principles, technology, real field application, regulatory system, public risk communication etc. will be discussed in AOCRP-3. These mutual communications by attendants connecting to the world movements cultivate an understanding of radiation protection of this region and make a robust network on radiation protection.
