Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Radioprotection: hygiene problems

  • Overview of the effects of ionizing radiation
  • Overview of sources of ionizing radiation exposure
  • Presentation of the specific case of medical exposure and the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation
  • Presentation of the principles aiming at reducing exposure to ionizing radiation, reducing the risk of health effects

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Radioprotection: hygiene problems

  • Understanding the effects of ionizing radiation
  • Being able to implement principles of radiation protection

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Radioprotection: hygiene problems

None. The first session is dedicated to a refresher course summarizing the elements of nuclear physics and radiation biology that are necessary to understand this course.
