Learning
Radiological Protection
Purpose
To provide learners with a high level appraisal of the underlying principles of radiation hazards, risks and control methods.
Who is this for?
Managers, engineers, operators, safety advisors and risk management practitioners.
Outline content
- Measures of radiation for personnel protection:
– Biological radiation effects
– Short term/long term
– Deterministic/stochastic - Standards of protection:
– Limitation, justification and optimisation,
– Internal/external exposure - Means of protection:
– Categorisation of workers and working areas
– Engineered and operational control
– Shielding
– Contamination control - Issues on nuclear plant:
– Sources of radiation in reactors
– Contamination monitoring and control
– Personnel monitoring and operational control
At the end of the course you should be able to:
