Workshop on dosimetry and radiation protection 1100-WDOR
The aim of the course will be to carry out 3 laboratory exercises using different dosimetry instruments. The whole will be preceded by an introductory lecture where the basic issues of dosimetry and radiological protection and their legal aspects will be presented.
Practical exercises will include:
learning to use basic dosimetry instruments used in radiological protection and in dose and activity measurements in nuclear medicine and radiotherapy departments (e.g. EKO-C, Canberra Colibri TTC radiometers)
selection of the radiometric instrument depending on the type of radiation measured;
identification of the radiation to be measured
measurement of dose powers;
graphing of isodoses
measurement of radiation spectra;
Measurement of attenuation of radiation by apertures;
measurement of activity.
