Spectrometry and Radiometry Laboratory.

Analysis and determinations:

• Thermoluminescent dosimetry
• Gamma spectrometry
• Radiometric survey
• Measurements of radonium
• Smear test

Courses and training:

All courses are directed, preferably, to the internal public or to CNEN workers. However, the participation of representatives of companies and organizations is not discarded, especially those linked to the nuclear sector.

• Radiological Protection Basic Notions*
• Radiological Protection for Occupationally Exposed Workers*
• Work Safety Basic Notions
• Fire Prevention and Fighting
• Fire Protection in Nuclear and Radioactive Facilities*
• First Aid

*The radioprotection training consists of theoretical and practical classes about human and environmental protection measures concerning undesired radiation effects.

Application:

Workers who handle radioactive material in industries, hospitals, universities, research institutions or perform mining activities, including firefighters, physicists and physicians.

For the worker’s safety, it is necessary to know the radiological risks and radioprotection procedures. The level of detail of this training varies according to the performed activities, to the characteristics of the radioactive sources and to the facility type.
