Training activity information
Details
Observe an environmental radiation protection survey, including Instantaneous Dose Rate measurements, and reflect on the processes
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.
Considerations
- Consider the acquisition and application of primary and scatter measurements
- Appreciate the instrumentation used
- Consider the requirements to work safely whilst taking measurements
- Appreciate the application of annual dose limits and constraints
- Appreciate how the radiation risk is controlled for the safety of staff and patients
