ENETRAP Project - Pilot Module 5 of ERPC - Occupational Radiation Protection

From 9 to 19 June 2008 the Center for Advanced Technological and Environmental Training (FTU) of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, Germany, will run a Pilot Training Course on Occupational Radiation Protection: Specifities of Wasts Management and Decommissioning. This course was developed by the ENETRAP EU Project and the FTU Training Center.

9 June 2008 - 19 June 2008
Germany
The practice-oriented training module on Occupational Radiation Protection is designed for radiation protection professionals such as Experts (RPE), Officers (RPO) and Qualified Experts (QE) who wish to improve and update their knowledge in Radiation Protection with regard to Waste Management, Decommissioning and Transport of Radioactive Materials. The training is part of the newly developed “European Radiation Protection Training”, meeting the training needs of the European RPEs.
The first week of the training focuses on the theoretical knowledge ranging from Waste Classification to Incineration, from Legal Aspects for Decommissioning to Decontamination Techniques. Furthermore Ventilation and Filtration, Safe Handling and Transport of Radioactive Materials are covered in lectures and laboratory exercises. Visits to Waste Management and Storage Facilities as well as to Facilities under Decommissioning at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe complete the agenda designed according to the ENETRAP recommendations.
The second week addresses people acquiring practical training as On-the-Job Training. OJT has become a key element for E&T in RP as it facilitates international exchange of personnel. Particular emphasis will be put on Clearance of Radioactive Waste, Operative Radiation Protection in the Central Decontamination Department and on Decommissioning of a Research Reactor.
Special features of the course are active involvement of the participants by means of workshops and case studies. A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the training course.
