eBulletin and Radiological Protection Bulletin Archive

The eBulletin was published on the NRPB website in 2002 and 2003. It contained editorials, articles and news items on radiological protection topics. There were also occasional conference reports, book reviews and correspondence. Extracts from the eBulletin may be reproduced, provided acknowledgement to HPA, the holder of the NRPB copyright, is made.

The eBulletin, which is presented here as a PDF file was originally published in HTML, as the web successor to the Radiological Protection Bulletin produced in print (1972-2000) and as a PDF (2001).
