Information in IRID

The database is operated by NRPB on behalf of the partners and initially the focus of attention has been on the implementation of reporting mechanisms and the entry of available data. A few incident cases from IRID have been reported in the European ALARA Newsletter and there have been searches of the database on behalf of the partners to produce statistical data for internal purposes. The primary objective of the first review report is to provide the first coherent review of the incidents on the database, which currently total 100. As such it is one of the prime means of meeting objectives (2) and (3) of the introduction, i.e. providing feedback and analysis. The report's further objectives are to review the adequacy of the original specifications and the operation of the data collection systems, and to identify possible improvements.
