The 8th EANNORM – Workshop, organized and hosted by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority in cooperation with IAF-Radioökologie GmbH, was held from 5th to 7th December 2016 in Stockholm (Sweden). This workshop was dedicated to the topic “Three years into the new EU BSS: How far have we come with the transposition and what is the impact on NORM industrial activities?”. Around 100 participants from 27 different countries and IAEA attended the workshop. The IAEA ENVIRONET NORM Project held 3 out of 5 days of its Technical Meeting jointly with the 8th EANNORM – Workshop. The abstracts of the presentations and posters are available below.
