EV31 - PEP 1-B: Basic Training for the NRRPT Exam – Fundamentals (Voss)Lake Hart 08:00 - 10:00 |
| This class presents the fundamentals of radiation – Sources of Radiation, Biological Effects, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Units and Terminology. The techniques and requirements of emergency preparedness, prescribed dosimetry, and contamination control are explored. Radiation interactions, radiation effects, radiation shielding, and radiation measurement techniques are described. The derivation and history of units are discussed. The relationships between various units are explored. Calculations of units and conversion of units are stated. Basic radiation rules and laws are interpreted. The primary reference materials are taken from Glenn Knoll “Radiation Detection and Measurement”, James Turner “Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection”, and the wide experience of the instructor. The instructor began his career in radiation in 1967, working at a commercial nuclear power plant (then under AEC rules). The instructor’s experience covers working with the AEC, NRC, DOE, US Military, Research, and the commercial world. He participates in the reviews and development of US and International standards for radiation instruments and measurements. (Part one of three) |
