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.

Language:

• offered only in German

Notes:

Admission requirements for taking the module:
- Participation in the radiation protection instruction

Admission requirements for participation in module examination(s):
- Successful participation in 90 % of the radiation protection internship

Module examination(s):
- ME5050-L1: Biophysics of ionizing radiation and radiation protection, written exam, 120 min, 100% of the module grade (ungraded for MLS)

Each winter semester preferential for students of Biophysics and MIW, every summer semester preferential for MLS students.


Only by passing the German examination is it possible to obtain the certificate of professional competence!
Prerequisite for the award of the certificate of proficiency: Attendance during the entire course (In justified exceptional cases, a maximum absence of 10% of the lecture time is permitted) and at least 70% of the points in the written examination.
If less than 70% but more than 50% of the points are achieved, a written or oral re-examination will be offered promptly at the discretion of the module coordinator. If the re-examination is passed, the certificate of specialist knowledge will be awarded. In this case, only the result of the first examination is decisive for the grade on the certificate of achievement.
The “Guideline on the technical knowledge required in radiation protection (technical knowledge guideline according to the Radiation Protection Ordinance)” in the currently valid version is decisive for the implementation of the course and the issuing of the certificates of technical knowledge.
