About This Course This course is designed to acquaint the student to instruments and measurements required to detect, monitor, record, and analyze nuclear materials. This will provide quantitative understanding of instrument calibration, surveys and measurements, personnel monitoring, quality control of data and analyses. Who Should Attend All personnel needing an understanding of radioactive materials, implementing radiation monitoring programs how radiation is categorized, detected, and measured, people responsible nuclear medicine technologies, radiation safety officers, people responsible for homeland security activities as they relate to detection and protection from nuclear materials and weapons. Key Topics You'll Learn About Types of detection equipment and capabilities Detector Principles Calibration of Instruments Counting statistics Phenomenon/Implication of Dead Time, Quenching Instrument nonlinearity Calibration and Managing errors in calibrations Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Counting Actinides GM tubes Basics and Units of Radioactivity Treatment of background radiation Use of Standards ANSI Standard N13.49 Measuring contamination Demonstrations with radioactive consumer products Radon and Geiger Counters Radon monitoring Stack Monitoring Personnel Monitoring Program Agenda  *All courses are taught from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm each day Day 1: Types of detection equipment and capabilities Detector Principles Calibration of Instruments Counting statistics Phenomenon/Implication of Dead Time, Quenching Instrument nonlinearity Calibration and Managing errors in calibrations Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Counting Actinides GM tubes Day 2: Basics and Units of Radioactivity Treatment of background radiation Use of Standards ANSI Standard N13.49 Measuring contamination Demonstrations with radioactive consumer products Radon and Geiger Counters Radon monitoring Stack Monitoring Personnel Monitoring Cost/Reservations Cost for this course is $995.00 [U.S.] with All Proceeds going to the Radiochemistry Society.
