Course description
This Online Course (in Dutch) provides theoretical knowledge about radiation protection to work in a laboratory in which open sources of radioactive materials are used. It is a set of web-based Radiation Protection modules with an accompanying test. Participants must complete the modules and successfully pass this test and will receive a certificate of participation.
This course covers only the theoretical aspects of radiation protection. To be able to work under the supervision of a radiation protection officer (TMS) with radioactive open sources (e.g. in a lab) it is also necessary to get a practical instruction at the workspace.
Literature/study material
Optional: Book: Practical Radiation Protection by Jos van den Eijnde & Lars Roobol EAN: 9789491764301
(Dutch publication Praktische stralingshygiëne, ISBN 9789491764295).
