Up to now the NORM sector was not explicitly included in this network. Therefore, in the next two years it is planned to develop an ALARA Network for NORM which will interconnect groups of experts and provide experience for implementation of the ALARA principle in non-nuclear industries. This network shall maintain Codes of Practice for NORM industry managers and promote good radiation protection practice. It intends to improve and support appropriate radiation protection training, to identify problems to be solved and to propose solutions. Furthermore, proposals to the EC on harmonisation issues and areas of further work will be formulated. As a basis for the work to be done the actual situation regarding optimisation of radiological protection in the NORM industry of the European Community will be reviewed within a first step. As a consequence an internet communication system will be created that includes interactive websites, a document management system (DMS), discussion rooms and contact databases. With these facilities the EAN for NORM will be able to provide, via an internet portal, online support, recommendations and guidelines, decision support and scientific information concerning NORM related topics. In the paper, the concept and the milestones of the EAN for NORM are presented and the possibilities of external experts to contribute to its further development will be shown. 1 Introduction For an appropriate radiation protection not only the dose limits for workers and members of the public have to be observed, in addition the exposures should be kept as low as reasonably achievable (optimisation principle, acronym ALARA principle). This principle recommended by the ICRP is one of the (basic) principles of the European Basic Safety Standards, and the International Basic Safety Standards.
