About This Course
Developed in partnership with the Singapore Environmental Institute (SEI), National Environmental Agency (NEA), this basic course will enable you to acquire knowledge to exercise safe handling of radioactive materials and/or irradiating apparatus during the course of your work.
What You'll Learn
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Explain the concept of radioactivity and how it arises based on basic atomic and nuclear theory
Illustrate how the different types of radioactive particulate emissions (i.e., alpha- and beta- decay, gamma- and x- rays) can occur, and explain why these are considered as ionising radiation
Perform simple analysis/calculations to predict the activity of a radioactive source based on the concept of half-life
Quantify the amount of radiation one is exposed to in a given situation, and assess its potential health impacts/risks
Outline and explain the biological effects of exposure to different levels of radiation
Identify and explain how different radiation instruments can be used for detection and measurements (personal dosimeter, survey meters, area monitors)
Outline the principles associated with radiation protection, with reference to legislation (such as the Radiation Protection Act), dose limits, personal monitoring and responsibilities of the licensee
Explain the various methods in managing radiation sources, which includes labelling of radiation areas and sources, storage of radioactive sources, source movement records, and transportation of sources
Discuss and explain how emergency procedures and contingency plans can be put in place to manage and prevent the occurrence of radiation related accidents
