INTRODUCTION
The use of radionuclides and radiation sources in industry, medicine, and education continues to create a need for persons trained in their safe use. To meet this need, ORAU conducts a five-day training course— Introduction to Radiation Safety. 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 lecture/laboratory course is an
introduction to the basic science behind radiation safety
and to common applications of radiation safety principles.
Lectures include a description of common radiation
sources, interaction of radiation with matter, biological
effects, detection and measurement. Laboratory exercises
emphasize radiation detection and measurement techniques
using both fixed and portable instrumentation.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is designed for those who wish to increase their knowledge of safe handling of radioactive materials and safe uses of radiation.
COST
The tuition includes the full cost of training, books, and instructional materials. Attendees will receive a free copy of the PTP Electronic Library DVD.
