The bi-monthly magazine "Atomic Forum"
We are giving you the first issue of the journal “Atomic Forum” edited by the young Team of our Foundation. We address this journal to a wide range of Readers interested in various aspects of the peaceful use of nuclear energy: from scientific research and technical issues to social problems related to it. We hope that the Readers will include in particular: entrepreneurs, representatives of public administration and the investor of the first Polish nuclear power plant, young scientists, teachers, students of various faculties, high school seniors, as well as science enthusiasts and people interested in this issue. “The Atomic Forum” is intended to increase public knowledge and awareness of nuclear energy so that we are not afraid to take advantage of its possibilities.
I wish the Readers many good, interesting publications, and the Editorial Board of the journal good ideas and perseverance in building the brand of this socially important initiative popularising difficult scientific issues.

ERRATA:
An error has crept into the article “Classification of radioactive waste” (superscripts are missing from activity values).
Used sealed radioactive sources are classified according to their activity level:
(1) low-activity – if the activity of the isotopes they contain does not exceed a value of
108 Bq;
(2) intermediate activity, if the activity of the contained isotopes exceeds
108 Bq. but not exceeding1012 Bq;
3) high-activity, if the activity of the contained isotopes exceeds 1012 Bq
1012 Bq.
The error occurs in the print version of the journal.
The journal ‘Forum Atomowe’ is registered by the District Court in Warsaw under number PR 17256.
