Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of principles, methods and techniques of radiation protection in the areas of medicine, industry, nuclear energy. Attention will be given to the different types of exposures of persons (professional, medical, exposure to natural and artificial sources of ionizing radiation) and exposure situations (existing, planned, emergency) as well as to measures to protect workers, patients, and the public.
Students will be able to apply the general principles of radiation protection in specific situations, assess the associated radiation risks, design preventive measures
