[en] Since the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) recommendation 60, the optimisation principle appears to be the core of the radiation protection system. In practice applying it, means implementing an approach both predictive and evolutionary - that relies essentially on a prudent and responsible state of mind. the formal expression of this process, called optimization procedure, implies and indispensable tool for its implementation: the system of monetary values for the unit of collective dose. During the last few years, feed ALARA principle means that a global work management approach must be adopted, considering together all factors contributing to radiation dose. In the nuclear field, the ALARA approach appears to be more successful when implemented in the framework of a managerial approach through structure ALARA programmes. Outside the nuclear industry it is necessary to clearly define priorities through generic optimisation studies and ALARA audits. At the international level much efforts remain to be done to expand efficiently the ALARA process to internal exposure as well as to public exposure. (author)

[en] Main factors promoting development of electronic modular systems and hardware grounds for them are considered. The ESONE committe is occupied with the development of the VME BUS (16-bit system, the dimension of the printed circuit is 6Ux160 mm the dataway hardcopy log is asynchronous) and MULTIBUS 2 (32-bit system, the dimension of printed circuit is 6Ux220 mm, dataway hardcopy log is synchronous, MIC and BAC are special microcircuits and participates in the development of the FASTBUS system. Computer aided design, development of portable software, personal computers and intelligent work stations and local area computer networks belong to other important directions of activity of the ESONE committee
