Ungraded knowledge checks are distributed throughout the content to provide students with immediate feedback about their level of understanding in each topic. Graded multiple choice questions are provided at the end of each course. 75% of these must be answered correctly to complete the course. After three unsuccessful attempts to do so, the course will be marked as unsuccessful.
Description: This course satisfies functional training requirements for Radiation Safety Officers (RSOs) as prescribed by DoDI 5160.68, AR 385-10, and DA PAM 385-64. Course content includes a comprehensive review of regulations governing the use, storage, transport, and disposal of radioactive materials and the methods used to limit and document exposures to radiation hazards. This course provides training in the technical application of basic nuclear physics, ionizing radiation, units of measure, detection, and measurement, radiation dosimetry, radiation accidents and incidents, and radioactive waste disposal.
