Main themes
1st part. Potential releases from nuclear installations in normal and accidental situations: transfer of radioactivity through the ecosystems up to the food chain; measurement of radioactivity in the environment; description of an operational network.
2d part . Evaluation of the consequences of real or potential releases in the first phase of a nuclear accident: models (use and limitations), decision-aiding techniques, practical training; a posteriori evaluation of the consequences of nuclear releases: models, parameters, hypotheses and examples.
3d part. National nuclear emergency plans: principles of protection of the population in nuclear accidents: concepts, possible countermeasures and their justification, choice of intervention levels and intervention zones; maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of foodstuffs: regulations and recommendations (elaboration and use); agricultural countermeasures before, during and after a nuclear accident.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | To acquire the theoretical and technical knowledge allowing a critical comprehension of the way nuclear risks are evaluated (risk of release and consequences) and protective measures (for the population and the food chain) are decided and implemented. |
