NucE 420 Radiological Safety
Course
Description
The goal of this course is to
provide students with an understanding of healthy physics in the areas of
radiation protection, regulatory guidelines, and dosimetry. The students
will develop an understanding of the interactions of radiation with matter
as they apply radiation protection and health effects. The students will
then apply these principles to radiation dosimetry and calculate internal
and external radiation doses for various exposure scenarios. The student
will evaluate the doses received from example scenarios to determine if the
does exceed limits in existing regulations. The student will utilize their
knowledge of radiation safety to prepare a written report on a health
physics subject of their choosing.
