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).

Registration
To register:
1. First fill in the General application form internship for electives to get your application approved by the GSLS;

2. After approval register for the course using this link or send an email to stralingsonderwijs-utrecht@tudelft.nl addressed to Mrs. Peeters.

Mandatory for GSLS students.
No.

Optional for students from other GSL Master's programmes:
Yes.

Prerequisite knowledge:
The course is based on participants with a technical, medical or scientific education on university level. A good knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics is necessary.
