To conclude the day , there was a presentation on “ Overcoming Challenges and Obstacles in the Radiation Protection Industry ”, which covered a mixture of topics from “ Balancing Trust ” and “ Work Enablers or Work Blockers ?” to a journey of “ Nuclear to Non-nuclear to Regulator ”. This session allowed the audience to compare challenges across a range of industries whilst fundamentally coming back to the soft skills that support the technical work that we do .
