Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

 

Workshop - Lutej, Kyev, Ukraine

 

The Chornobyl accident has provided a unique opportunity for research and training on emergency response and post-accidental radiation monitoring. It is one of only a few places in the world where effective training and experience in internal and external dose assessment, radioactive sample collection and preparation, contamination mapping and decision making can be provided in real highly contaminated area. It is important to expand such experience for upgrading of post-accident radiation monitoring techniques and decision making in a case of nuclear or other radiological accident.

The curriculum is designed for emergency workers, decision-makers, graduate students, university faculty and scientists interested in emergency preparedness and response, radiation protection and risk assessment.

Curriculum:

The schedules for lectures and laboratory exercises are developed by an international panel of experts. It is based on current international standards and methodologies. The training materials of IAEA train-the-trainers course “Regional Train-the-Trainers Course on Monitoring Strategies, Procedures, Reporting and Transmission of Data” will be used during the Training Course.

The curriculum includes:

classroom instruction;
field training;
exercises in high contaminated areas of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.

Organization: PRE "Atom Komplex Prylad"
