Sažetak
The Croatian Radiation Protection Association (CRPA) was founded under this name in 1979 as a member of the Yugoslav Radiation Protection Association. From 1991 CRPA acts as an independent society. CRPA became a regular member of the International Radiation Protection Association in 1992 being among the very first Croatian professional organizations to enter international associations. The CRPA gathers scientists and specialists from the entire Croatia and acts under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia. The main goals of the Association are protection of the population and of human work and living environment from harmful effects of radiation, as well as the promotion of scientific understanding of the consequences of radiation. For these purposes four symposia of the Croatian Radiation Protection Association with international participation were held in Zagreb (1992, 1994, 1996, 1998). The proceedings of all symposia were printed in Croatian with extended abstracts in English. Although in 1998 only the fourth symposium was held, our Association has a long tradition, because Croatian specialists contributed significantly to the activities of all symposia organized by the former Yugoslav Radiation Protection Association, beginning with the first one which was held in Portorož (Slovenia) in 1963. CRPA was co-organizate of the series of bi-annual meetings on radiation protection in Central Europe in co-operation with the Austrian, Croatian, Czech, German-Swiss, Italian, Slovak and Slovenian Associate Societies of IRPA. The congresses in Austria (1993), Slovenia (1995), Czech Republic (1997) and Hungary (1999) have a rank of IRPA Regional Congress. CRPA was entrusted with the organization of the next bi-annual meeting which will be held in Dubrovnik, spring 2001. The members of CRPA were involved in the creation of new Laws on Ionizing and Non-ionizing Radiation Protection. However, the suggestions on these of Laws proposed by the Association were not completely accepted by the corresponding administrative organs. in the future CRPA has to achieve a better acceptation by the administrative organs involved in radiation protection.
