Course title: Dosimetry and radiation protection
Name in Polish: Dozymetria i ochrona radiologiczna
Organizational unit: Faculty of Chemistry
Course groups: (in Polish) Przedmioty minimum programowego dla studentów 3-go semestru (S1-PRK-CHJR)
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 4.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language: Polish
Main fields of studies for MISMaP:

chemistry
Type of course:

obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the basic principles of radiological protection, the regulations governing the handling of radioisotopes, the organisation and control of the working environment in conditions of exposure to ionising radiation.
Mode:

Classroom
Short description:

Lecture:

1. Whether to be afraid of ionising radiation?

2. Application of nuclear techniques in industry and medicine and the potential risks involved.

3. Basic dosimetry quantities of ionising radiation. Dosimetric instruments and their calibration.

4 Biological effects of ionising radiation.

5 The Atomic Law and implementing acts.

6. basic principles of radiological protection, safe work with radiation sources.

7 Preparation and supervision of radiological protection documents.

8. individual and work environment dosimetry control.

9. radioactive waste.

Exercises:

1. Calculation of change in activity over time, calculation of urinary doses, doses and shielding.

2. Optimisation of working conditions under exposure conditions, assessment of individual doses based on dosimetric measurements in the working environment.

3. Estimation of permissible residence time in a room with increased radiation, evaluation of internal body contamination.

Learning outcomes:

On completion of the course the student:

1. knows the principles of radiological protection

2. knows the legal regulations in force in Poland

3. be able to prepare and control in an organisational unit the procedures of radiological protection

4. is able to prepare and supervise in an organisational unit the documentation

5. be able to carry out individual dosimetric and work environment inspections
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

A condition for taking the examination is that you have passed the radiological protection exercises. The examination tests the knowledge of basic issues in radiological protection and legislation. The prerequisite for passing the lecture is 50% of the maximum possible number of points.
