Aims :

• To introduce methods of working safely with radiation and with radioactive substances.

Objectives :
By the end of this course the student will be able to:

• Define activity and state its SI unit.
• Explain the concepts of Annual Limit on Intake and Derived Air Concentration.
• Differentiate between radiation (the external radiation hazard) and contamination (the internal radiation hazard).
• Explain how the external radiation hazard is controlled by the principles: shielding, distance and time.
• State the four routes by which radioactivity can enter the human body and describe how working procedures can limit such entry.
• Summarise how compliance with the Safety Rules (Radiological) and associated documentation will achieve control of the radiation hazards.
