INTRODUCTION
Monitoring programs for environmental radioactivity
have been, or are being, established at many facilities. It
is essential to ensure that the appropriate types of samples
are collected, that the appropriate measurements are made,
that the correct sampling and measurement techniques are
employed, and that the best locations for these samples
and measurements are selected. To help meet the need
for trained personnel in this area, ORAU conducts a
five-day training course—Environmental Monitoring
for Radioactivity. The American Academy of Health
Physics will grant 32 Continuing Education Credits
for completion of this course. The American Board of
Industrial Hygiene grants 5.0 Certification Maintenance
Points to CIHs for completion of this course.
DESCRIPTION
This one-week laboratory-oriented course introduces participants to the basic theories and mechanics of environmental monitoring for radioactivity. Approximately 50% of the time is spent collecting and analyzing samples; the remaining time will be devoted to lectures.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is for individuals who are designing and/or
implementing environmental monitoring programs yet
whose practical and/or theoretical experience in this area is
limited.
COST
The tuition includes the full cost of training, books, and instructional materials. Attendees will also receive
