Resumen
Future nuclear power expansion to nations with limited technical infrastructure presents unique challenges to establishing a coherent and integrated radiation protection organization that supports the challenging work at a nuclear power station. The implementation of a successful radiation protection program requires that its various elements work effectively together and with the various plant work groups. Successful implementation is strongly influenced by the cultural norms of the host nation as well as facility specific standards and expectations. The organization will be most successful if it fully incorporates a diverse work force that reflects the nation?s demographics, encourages mutual respect, promotes a questioning attitude, and seeks continuous improvement.
