Training activity information
Details
Undertake a dose survey and/or measurements of radiation dose around an ionising radiation installation, analyse the results and make recommendations on the adequacy of shielding and designation of areas
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
Considerations are suggestions about what may be useful for the trainee to think about while undertaking a training activity. They should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to demonstrate or provide evidence for each of the considerations listed.
- Instantaneous dose rate (IDR) measurements and/or environmental monitoring
- Annual dose limits and constraints
- Guidance on appropriate designation of areas
- Acceptability of radiation levels and action that may need to be taken based on findings
- Working safely whilst taking measurements
- Appropriate authorisation routes for advice
