RADIATION DOSE MEASUREMENT & RADIATION PROTECTION

Radiation (physics of radiation, radiation physiology). Radiation doses (definitions, quality factor, radiation dose measurement, Bragg-Gray principle). Radiation detectors (gaseous detectors, scintillation detectors, semiconductor diode detectors, detector model, pulse shaping and filtering, dead-time losses). Shields (introduction to the shielding calculation). Radiation chemistry. Radioactive contamination. Sanitation.
