Aims

The intended purpose of the course "TMS-VRS-D Radiation expertise level 5B" is to impart to the student such competence and skills in the field of radiation protection that he/she, after having successfully completed the instruction course, has gained an adequate level of expertise to enable him/her to independently apply radioactive substances. This course is requested by legislation for all students and workers who will work with radioactive substances without direct supervision. This applies mainly to students in their masters study, but in some cases also to students in their bachelor study.

This one week course contains lectures and laboratory exercises dealing with most aspects of radiation safety, radiation protection or health physics, whichever term you prefer to use. Participants spend approximately 20% of their time performing laboratory exercises using radiation detection equipment. These laboratory exercises complement the health physics principles covered in lectures. Topics include: Radiation Physics, Radiation Detection and Measurement Techniques, Radiation Dosimetry, Radiation Biology, Assay Techniques, Shielding, Legislation and Health Physics Principles. The diploma examination is in multiple choice format. The diploma is valid in the Netherlands.

The course is not only open to students, part of the members are from hospitals and companies.
