Qualification-goals/Competencies: - The students will have acquired in depth knowledge of the legal regulations concerning the work with radioactive materials and are able to implement these regulations in all relevant situations: Purchase, transport, storage, experimental use, disposal and decontamination
- They are able to safely handle open and enclosed radioactive compounds
- They are able to work in radiation protection areas in compliance with legal regulations
- They are able to measure radioactivity, calculate radiation doses and evaluate the results with respect to legal thresholds and biological impact
- They are able design experiments using radioactive materials, identify and meet the necessary safety precautions and establish a suitable workplace
- The students will acquire the requisite qualification (Fachkunde) according to German law (RöV and StrlSchV). This will qualify them (upon fulfillment of other regulatory requirements) to perform as a radiation safety officer according to German law.
