Emphasis will be placed on obtaining quantitative projections based on methods acceptable to regulatory agencies. Registrants will receive a full set of course notes. Example calculations will be used extensively. Use of- advanced mathematics will be minimized consistent with the parameters of specific problems. Thursday afternoon will be devoted to practical exercises that illustrate the use of measurements in consequence assessment.
All instructors have doctoral degrees and experience in their technical specialties.
The course director is Dr. Erno Sajo who directs a faculty experienced in radiological safety analyses and development of training programs for universities, national laboratories, regulatory bodies, and the private sector.
