UN 0805 - Introduction to Operational Health Physics


An introduction to a number of topics that will be encountered in the practice of health physics. The following topics will be discussed: dose limitation; dosimetric quantities for individuals and populations; ioinzing radiation risks and hazards; ICRP‐60; internal doses and the compartment model; derived air concentrations and annual limit on intake; metabolic models for respiratory system and GI tract, radiation safety at nuclear reactors, particle accelerators, irradiators, X‐Ray installations and laboratories; pathway analysis; derived release limits; environmental monitoring, sample collection and preparation, and sources of radiation; atmospheric transport; cost‐benefit analysis; and derivation of limits for surface contamination.
