The Nuclear and Radiation Safety Centre conducted a training course titled “Radiation Protection and the Safe Use of Radioactive Sources.” The course was attended by nine employees from the Field Experimental Laboratory of the Engineering and Technical Centre of Gazprom Armenia CJSC.
The participants were introduced to key principles of radiation safety, including the safe handling of radioactive materials, radiation monitoring techniques, and the proper use of personal protective equipment.
The training was specifically designed for professionals involved in the import, export, production, use, transportation, or storage of ionising radiation sources or radiation-generating devices across various sectors, including industry, agriculture, scientific research, and education.
The training covered the following topics:
- Fundamentals of Radiation Protection
- Radiation Units and Measurement
- Biological Effects of Ionising Radiation
- Protective Measures
- Basic Principles of Radiation Safety and Protection
- Types of Radiation
- Radioactive Source Identification
- Emergency Preparedness and Response
- Overview of the Radiation Safety System in Armenia
- Relevant National Legislation
After the course, each participant received a certificate recognising their knowledge and skills in radiation protection and the safe use of radioactive sources.
NRSC continues to implement similar training initiatives aimed at enhancing professional qualifications and reinforcing radiation safety standards throughout Armenia.
