Lecturer:

Tomáš Vrba (gar.)

Tutor:

Tomáš Vrba (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation

Synopsis:

The aim of the subject is to provide self-contained overview on the radiation protection with a special focus on general principles. The subject is based on actual ICRP recommendation no. 103 and other documents which specifies radiation protection in the Czech republic.

Requirements:

Request (recommended) knowledge (subjects):

Sources of ionizing radiation, interaction of the radiation with the matter (16JRF1,16JRF2)

Basics of dozimetry, units and quantities (16ZDOZ)

Detection precipices for ionizing radiation (16DETE)

Syllabus of lectures:

1.Biology in radiation protection

2.Biological effects of ionizing radiation

3.Units, quantities, basic terms in RP

4.Dozimetry of external irradiation I.

5.Dozimetry of external irradiation II.

6.Internal dozimetry I.

7.Internal dozimetry II.

8.Radiation protection of the nature

9.Shielding of ionizing radiation

10.Epidemiology in radiation protection

11.System of radiation protection I

12.System of radiation protection II
