Radiation protection for decommissioning

Technical training delivered by experts for newcomers to the field of decommissioning.
Training description:
The radiological approach in the decommissioning sphere is quite close to the radiological approach of an operational atmosphere; nevertheless, some important specificities have to be accounted for.
The course objectives are:
- To give a basic radiation protection knowledge to the students,
- To present the ALARA approach,
- To highlight the characteristics and specificities of radiation protection as applied to decommissioning especially concerning internal and external exposure risk.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the radioprotection regulatory framework and its impact in the decommissioning field,
- Put forward solutions in order to limit the integrated dose,
- Limit internal exposure during the decommissioning phase,
- Explain dosimetry optimization management.
