Home » Resources » EANNORM workshops »
From 2nd to 4th December 2013, the 6th EANNORM – Workshop was held in the Ciemat’s headquarter in Madrid (Spain). It was devoted to the “Alternatives in NORM wastes management” and followed on December 5th by a topical day: “NORM in new BSS and Radon in NORM”.
Around 90 participants attended these EANNORM events from European countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom) and non-European countries as well (Angola, Israel, Japan, Mexico and South Korea).
