Task Groups

IRPA Task Groups are an important part of promoting international cooperation among those engaged in radiation protection work. Each Task Group allows IRPA to expand awareness, disseminate information and collect feedback on topics of interest to the radiation protection community. A member of the IRPA Executive Council acts either as chair or a liaison to each group.

Details on each active Task Group can be found below:
