RPW5: Personal Dosimetry

 

Date & Time: February, 25, 2016, Thurs 8:00-11:30

Venue:  Personal Dosimetry Laboratory (Room#: B61), Health Physics Room, Basement Research Centre, Biomedical Physics Department

Coordinator::  Ibrahim Algain, MSc, MIPEM, Health Physics Section, Biomedical Physics Dept., KFSH&RC, email: Igain@kfshrc.edu.sa


Workshop Faculty:
Shaima Al-Shora, Noor Al-Edan

Target Audience: Health Physicists, RSOs, Dosimetrists

Prerequisites:  Radiation Protection Refresher Course 

Workshop Description:

The workshop is intended to show the attendees the procedures applied at the KFSHRC Personal dosimetry Laboratory for the personal dose monitoring using Thermoluminescent Dosimeters and Bioassy Monitoring using NaI detecror. The hands-on practical session will cover the following procedures:

  • Handling the dosimeters (reception and sending)
  • Issuance of new TLDs (New Clients)
  • Daily Checks for the Tld Reader
  • Calculation of the Element correction coefficient (ECC) for each TLD ship
  • Calibration of the TLD Reader
  • Evaluating the dosimeters using the TLD reader
  • Recording and interpreting the TLD results in terms of personal dose equivalent 
  • Establishment of ALARA levels
  • following up and investigating doses above ALRA limits
  • Issuance of dose evaluation reports
  • Setup and calibration of the Bioassay monitoring unit
  • Frequency of monitoring
  • Bioassay measurement, interpretation of results
  • Issuance of evaluation report

Learning Objectives:

This workshop will allow the attendees to understand the principles of dose measurement using Thermoluminescent dosimeters and a Bioassay NaI monitoring Unit. They will have the opportunity to handle the dosimeters, the TLD readers and to NaI detector.
