Monitoring programs for environmental radioactivity have been, or are being, established at many facilities. It is essential to ensure that appropriate types of samples are collected, appropriate measurements are made, correct sampling and measurement techniques are employed, and the best locations for these samples and measurements are selected. To help meet the need for trained personnel in this area, ORAU developed the Environmental Monitoring Online Training course.
Thecourse contains 17 self-paced modules and 10 pre-recorded videos designed to introduce participants to the basic theories and mechanics of environmental monitoring for radioactivity. The videos provide an unobstructed view of the instructors conducting each exercise and processing the data that is collected. This course is expected to take 40 hours to complete.
Course materials are available on the ORAU PTP Learning Management System (LMS). PTP instructors will be available via email, phone, or Microsoft Teams to answer questions and provide assistance when needed.
