18 Summer School "Post-Accident Radiation Monitoring Techniques"

The Chornobyl accident has provided a unique opportunity for research and training on emergency response and post-accidental radiation monitoring. It is one of only a few places in the world where effective training and experience in internal and external dose assessment, radioactive sample collection and preparation, contamination mapping and decision making can be provided in real highly contaminated area. It is important to expand such experience for upgrading of post-accident radiation monitoring techniques and decision making in a case of nuclear or other radiological accident.

The curriculum includes:

classroom instruction;
field training;
exercises in high contaminated areas of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.
