The AGM will be followed by a presentation from Dr Casey Davies PhD, from Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (University of Canterbury) on Radiation Safety.
“For a nuclear-free society, we sure do have a lot of radiation around us. It’s in the ground, in the air, in our food, and even within our bodies. But what constitutes a radiation hazard and how do we manage this? Within this morning’s presentation, Dr Casey Davies, Health and Safety Business Partner at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (University of Canterbury) and a chemical consultant, will discuss radiation within a New Zealand context and teach you some fundamental physics, so that you know what radiation is, how we measure it and at what point it becomes dangerous.
