7.  Its major tasks and activities:  Fundamental research on nuclear science and technology  R&D on Advanced nuclear energy  Application of nuclear technology CIAE

8. Personnel expertise  I am engaged in the area of safety and protection for 20 years. There are concerned as follows in 1987-1998:  research on methodology for the assessment of dose to the public  safety analysis and environmental impact assessment of nuclear facilities, such as RR, NPP, Nuclear fuel cycling facility, etc.  research on aerial monitoring technology used for nuclear and radiological emergency monitoring

9.  1999-now:  as vice-president of CIAE, in charge of nuclear safety, radiation safety, waste safety, and environmental protection in CIAE  research on Energy and the Environment  research on strategy and policy for the minimization of Radwastes in China  R&D on emergency monitoring system for combating nuclear terrorism Personnel expertise

10.  1993-now: member, Nuclear Safety and the Environment Committee, SEPA/NNSA  2002-now: vice-president, Chinese Radiological Protection Society (CRPS)  2004-now:  member, National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee of China (NNECCC)  advisor, Chinese delegation to the UNSCEAR  member, editorial board of Chinese Journal-Radiation Protection, and Radiation Protection Newsletter, and Science and Technology of Atomic Energy  professor, CNNC Graduate School Personnel expertise

11.  Since the early of 1980s, the optimization principle had been a provision in National Regulations on Radiation Protection.  In the year of 1990, a National Advisory Group on the implementing of ALARA was established in the former Ministry of Nuclear Industry (MNI) of China, and now the CNNC, and under it there is a National ALARA Center in CIRP, an ALARA Committee in each Nuclear Facility Operator.  Some researches and practices of the application of ALARA were made by the CIAE, NPP, etc. Implement of ALARA

12. Cases of ALARA  Application of ALARA into the discharging scheme of RR in a site without receiving water body  Application of ALARA into the residual content of U, Pu, and Am in the decommissioning of a nuclear facility site  Application of ALARA into the determination of discharging concentration of liquid effluents in NNP  Application of ALARA into the management of Radwastes in NNP

13. Case of ALARA  Application of ALARA into the determination of natural nuclides concentration used for construction materials  Application of ALARA into the design of radioisotope production facility  Application of ALARA in national training course on competent radiation protection persons

14. National expectation to ALARA Network  to be shared with knowledge and experiences of ALARA good practice by national regulatory, experts, etc.  To be a forum on discussion and argumentation against radiation protection issues  To be a platform to exchange safety and protection information by regulatory staffs within Asian Member States, the RPO of operation organization

15. National expectation to ALARA Network  To be a public web site (only part of it) for the general member to the public to read the good practice of RP within Asian region  National representative, or correspondents will be assigned by the member states government  Newsletter will be issued periodically

16.  How to establish it, and what are its style and characteristics?  What experiences should be learnt for the similar networking, such as ANSN, EAN, RaSaReN, etc.  How to operate and maintain it? By Department of the IAEA, any member states? Some issues to be discussed

17. Proposals  The provisional acronym ARAN (Asian Region ALARA Network) is Ok for my personnel option  A task team or group is needed, and its members should mainly be from the future operation organization of the network, and staffs of the IAEA, and  An Asian steering committee would also be necessary in the establishment and operation of the network.
