| The goal | The course is organized to enable students to understand the basic principles of radiation protection that are illustrated by theoretical aspects and practical examples. Students are introduced to the physical and biological principles of radiation protection, basic concepts of dosimetry and instrumentation, the concept of risk and basic standards in radiation protection. Also, students are introduced to the basics of protection against noise and vibration as an engineering activity in the field of ecology. | |||
| The outcome | The student is acquainted with various aspects of the application of radiation sources and basic principles of radiation protection. At the end of the course, the student is qualified to apply all elements of the radiation protection program as a radiation source user or as a person responsible for radiation protection in laboratory, medical and industrial application, as well as in the field of environmental protection. Students are trained to know the criteria of noise risk assessment, the noise state diagnostics method and the usual methods of noise protection. | |||
