Laboratory exercises complement the health physics principles covered in lectures. Environmental Monitoring Beginning with fundamental principles, each topic progresses to an advanced level.
Instruction is fortified with weekly examinations and problem sessions.
A final exam is given at the end of the course. Individual attention is ensured by limiting course enrollment to 24. The course will satisfy most of the basic science training hours required for a license in the medical uses of by-product material. For reactor health physicists, this course will provide 200 hours toward the licensing requirements for nuclear power plant health physics personnel. For more information on licensing requirements, contact your state's radiological control program or the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
