La radioactivité et les rayonnements ionisants ne sont pas uniquement produits par l’industrie nucléaire. L’uranium radioactif, présent dans le sol et dans l’eau de mer, tout comme l’isotope de potassium-40 qui émet en moyenne dans notre corps 400 rayons gamma par seconde, sont deux échos de la naissance de l’univers et de la terre. Ils […]

This post-graduate course (20 ECTS) meets the requirements set in the Royal Decree of July 20, 2001 regarding the training for Radiation Protection Experts (Art. 73.2), and is therefore targeted towards those who need to be formally recognised as RPE, as well as to all professionals working in nuclear, radiology or the medical sector. The […]

Met de omzetting van de 2013/59/EURATOM Richtlijn naar nationale regelgeving worden professionele profielen gedefinieerd in stralingsbescherming. Deze dienen advies te verlenen en toezicht te houden op de maatregelen die nodig zijn om de werknemers, het publiek en de omgeving te beschermen tegen de nadelige effecten van ioniserende straling. Eén van deze professionele profielen is de agent […]

Sinds de eerste ontdekkingen van Marie Curie, Henri Becquerel, Ernest Rutherford en vele anderen werd een diep inzicht ontwikkeld in de risico's en voordelen van de toepassing van radioactiviteit in de dagelijkse commerciële en onderzoekspraktijk. Het wetenschappelijke domein van de stralingsbescherming evolueert voortdurend, gedreven door nieuw onderzoek en door ontwikkelingen en gebeurtenissen in de dagelijkse […]

Safety and security: two sides of the same coin or sources of tension? Safety and security are often thought of as sharing a common goal: protecting people and the environment from potential harm. Ensuing from this, an integrated and synergetic vision of the interplay between safety and security has been promoted; both strengthen each other […]

 The Monte Carlo simulation codes have proven to be the most accurate tool for dose calculations or for the detailed description of the behaviour of radiation detectors. Among these codes GEANT4 stands out thanks to its flexibility and wide functionality in different fields of physics. The GAMOS tool has been designed for making easy the […]

Since the early discoveries by Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie, Ernest Rutherford and many others, a deep insight into the risks and benefits of applying radioactivity in daily commercial and research practice has been build up. The scientific world of radiation protection is in constant motion. It is triggered by new research as well as by developments and […]

This intensive unique seven day course will give a comprehensive overview of different aspects involved in the management of radioactive waste. The course modules will handle operational radioactive waste management during collection, characterization, conditioning, transport and (interim) storage. Course topics will focus on international best practices and regulations, national and international state-of-the-art. The course benefits […]
