Nuclear Safety #258002

Course Details

Nuclear Safety is a 5-day intensive course designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles, practices, and regulatory requirements for ensuring the safe operation of nuclear facilities. This course will cover a wide range of topics, including radiation protection, nuclear reactor safety, emergency preparedness, and security culture.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the fundamentals of nuclear safety: including radiation protection, criticality safety, and radiological protection.
• Apply safety principles and practices: to nuclear facilities and operations.
• Identify and assess safety hazards: and implement effective risk mitigation strategies.
• Develop and implement safety culture: within nuclear organizations.
• Comply with national and international safety standards and regulations.
• Respond effectively to nuclear emergencies and incidents.
