Learn about radiation protection considerations for Small Modular Reactors. This webinar was presented online on March 23, 2023 and features an interview with our guest, Josip Zic (  / josip-zic-9508b7174  ) , Health Physics Director at McMaster University and President of Senior Health Physicist Nuclear Services. In these roles, he supports the safe operation of McMaster’s research reactor and provides consulting services regarding the safe use of nuclear technology. Josip has experience working as a health physicist and in radiation protection management ranging from industry and nuclear medicine to nuclear power generation and radiological waste management. He is also the Co-Chair of the World Nuclear Association Radiation Protection Working Group, a member of various technical standards committees in Canada, a Registered Radiation Safety Professional with the Canadian Radiation Protection Association, and Certified Health Physicist with the American Board of Health Physics. With his experience in health physics, licensing, regulatory affairs, radiological waste management, and power generation, we are pleased to have had Josip with us to share knowledge on small modular reactors with a focus on radiation protection.

The 40-minute radiation safety portion is followed by a 20-minute health movement break in the form of beginner Tai-Chi led by Charlmane Wong of Ji Hong Tai Chi & Qi Gong of Richmond Hill, Ontario (https://taichiontario.com/team/charlm....
