Workshop 1: Regulatory approaches and requirements
The workshop was held with environmental regulators, NGOs and some industry representation (although the focus of this first workshop was to elicit views from regulators). The aim was to discuss and explore in more detail areas relating to the protection of the environment and in particular obtain views on the following:

1. Expectations or requirements of environmental protection (as a whole)
2. Expectations or requirements of both chemical and radioactive approaches
3. Suitability of any approaches that derive numerical values for use as criteria or standards
4. Suitability of any numerical values currently applied as criteria or standards

Workshop 2: Approaches to demonstrate protection of the environment from ionising radiation
This workshop reported back on the follow up activities highlighted in workshop 1 and discussed the application of available tools to radiological environmental impact assessments. The scope was expanded to allow:

1. Consideration of the then (Jan 2008) recently available relevant publications including the draft report released by ICRP Committee 5 (http://www.icrp.org/draft_animals.asp^{Image Removed})
2. Approaches suggested by PROTECT work package 3 PROTECT  to propose levels of environmental protection
3. Comparison of human and non-human biota exposure assessments
