Realising the European Network of Biodosimetry (RENEB)

Abstract: In Europe, a network for biological dosimetry has been created to strengthen the emergency preparedness and response capabilities in case of a large-scale nuclear accident or radiological emergency. Through the RENEB (Realising the European Network of Biodosimetry) project, 23 experienced laboratories from 16 European countries will establish a sustainable network for rapid, comprehensive and standardised biodosimetry provision that would be urgently required in an emergency situation on European ground.

“…The aim of the RENEB (Realizing the European Network of Biodosimetry) project was to establish such a network of European laboratories that can ensure a harmonized performance of five biological dosimetry assays (the dicentric chromosome assay; the FISHtranslocation assay; the micronucleus assay; the premature chromosome condensation assay; the gamma-H2AX assay) and two physical retrospective assays (electron paramagnetic resonance and optically stimulated luminescence) for individual dose assessment. Within the RENEB network, these assays have been further optimized through standardization of methods, training and inter-comparison exercises (Kulka et al 2012(Kulka et al , 2015.…”

“…The working group 10 on retrospective dosimetry of EURADOS was initially aimed at development of the cooperation and exchange between biologists and physicists. Later, MULTIBIODOSE and RENEB EC projects have followed the same philosophy (Kulka et al 2012;Wojcik et al 2014). It is desirable to create conditions for such cooperation in order to improve the quality of realization of radiobiology experiments and to make all the published results useful.…”

“…Additional partners joined from the EU project 'MULTIBIODOSE' (http://www.multibiodose.eu) and/or were members of Working Group 10 'retrospective dosimetry' of the EURADOS association (www.eurados.org), and thus have experience in the development and application of biodosimetric tools. In total, 23 organizations from 16 European countries built the RENEB consortium at the start of the project in 2012 (Kulka et al 2012;Voisin et al 2012 (Table 1). Most of the partners had research experience but also practical experience in handling radiation accidents, and a number of them had specially defined missions to undertake national tasks linked to radiation protection and biological dosimetry with the status of an official national biodosimetry laboratory.…”

“…In 2012, a total of 23 organizations from 16 European countries joined forces and started to realize this project, in order to guarantee the highest efficiency in processing and scoring of biological and personalized inert samples for fast and reliable dose estimations on an individual level to support EU emergency management (Kulka et al 2012).…”
