Nuclear Safety Training Course

Introduction

The radiation and nuclear topic is important in most part of the industries. The protection itself is a major issue. Several techniques must be obeyed and a true understanding of the Norms must be well understood.

Objectives

    The course is directed towards the investigations of the different methods for radiation and nuclear safety and protection as well as the study of the radiation awareness with the applied norms.

Training Methodology

The program is delivered in a combination of lecture-style and computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set aside for small working group activity when addressing case study problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.

Who Should Attend?

Radiation, nuclear and lab engineers and technicians working with radioactive materials.
