| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Radiation and Radioactive materials are widely used in the industry and medicine. The release of radiation and radioactive materials are unavoidable events in the operation of nuclear power stations. Therefore, it is very important to safely control the radiation exposure. In this lecture, engineering of radiation control including the measurement, administration, and application were described in detail. | |||
| Course Goals |
To accumulate the knowledge on the environmental radiation control. Students are expected at the end of this lecture to reach at the knowledge level to pass the license of the Certified Radiation Control Officer. |
|||
| Schedule and Contents |
According to the following schedule, the lecture on the engineering of environmental radiation control will be presented. 1)Interaction between the radiation and materials (4 lectures): Physical and chemical interactions between the ionizing radiation and materials including photo-electron reaction, Compton scattering, and ionizing. 2)The technology of radiation measurement (4 lectures):The principles and applications of the GM tube, scitillation counter, grass badge, and ionizing chamber will be described. 3)Characteristics of environmental radiation and radioisotopes (4 lectures): For the safety handling of the radiation, characteristics of environmental radiation and radioisotopes will be described. 4)Engineering of radiation control methods (3 lectures): It will be focused on the method how to control the use, disposal, and storage of radiation and radioactive meterials in the environment. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Attendance and test at the end of term. Refer to '2017 Guide to Degree Programs' for attainment levels of evaluation. |
|||
| Course Requirements | The lecture will be presented at the Kumatori campus. Some lectures will be presented in one day because of the use of research reactor KUR in the lecture. | |||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | The topics of the next lecture willbe anounced, so the students need to study about the background knowledge on the related area. | |||
| Textbooks | Textbooks/References |
It is preferable to study the lecture materials such as research paper in advance. The background knowledge on the physics, chemistry, and biology is necessary to be studied in advance. |
