II INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ONRADIOECOLOGICAL CONCENTRATION PROCESSES : II INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 50 years later

Persson, Bertil R LU orcid (2016)
Abstract
From the 6th to the 9th of November 2016, in the meeting hall of Centro Nacional de Aceleradores
(University of Seville, Seville, Spain) took place the “II International Conference on
Radioecological Concentration Processes (50 years later)” under the joint organization of the
Universities of Seville (Spain) and Gothenburg (Sweden). With this event, the organization try to
commemorate the fifty years anniversary of the first Radioecological Concentration Processes
Conference hold in Stockholm, which is recognized as an extremely important event which

From the 6th to the 9th of November 2016, in the meeting hall of Centro Nacional de Aceleradores
(University of Seville, Seville, Spain) took place the “II International Conference on
Radioecological Concentration Processes (50 years later)” under the joint organization of the
Universities of Seville (Spain) and Gothenburg (Sweden). With this event, the organization try to
commemorate the fifty years anniversary of the first Radioecological Concentration Processes
Conference hold in Stockholm, which is recognized as an extremely important event which
contributed to the birth of the modern radioecology: In the pioneer 1966 conference, more than 100
communications were presented and a good number of participants played afterwards an essential
role in the development and growing of the radioecology as scientific discipline.
The first conference had as a main motivation the dissemination of the radioecological studies
appearing at that time associated to the nuclear weapon tests performed by USA and the former
USSR at the end of the 1950s or beginning of the 1960s. Since then, a lot of anthropogenic
emissions of radioactivity (provoked or accidental) have occurred, being remarkable at the dates of
this II edition the 30 years passed since the Chernobyl accident and the 5 years passed from the
Fukushima accident. In addition, the emergence of new analytical techniques has made possible to
extend the radioecological studies to new radionuclides and environmental compartments.
With this II edition of the Conference, the promotors have tried to obtain information about the
actual status of the radioecology over the world, to evaluate the advances reached during the last
years and to plan the development of some priority research lines to be followed along the first half
of the XXI century. Just thinking in the future of the radioecology, special efforts were devoted to
stimulate the active participation, through presentation of communications, of young researchers. (Less)

In this editorial a summary of the main contributions and outcomes of the conference celebrated in Seville about Radioecological Concentration processes during six intense sessions is given. It was quite remarkable in addition to the good quality of the communications presented, the active participation of the delegates and the good working atmosphere created during the conference as well as the participation of a good set of young researchers that will construct the future of the radioecology. In addition, it was possible to obtain as a main conclusion of the conference that the radioecology is in good health with a set of emerging new topics under development.
