The overall objectives of each course are to ensure participants:
• are conversant with assessment objectives;
• have a basic understanding of radionuclide transfer, dosimetry and radiation effects;
• know how to use available tools;
• can interpret the results;
• understand the implications of how the tools are used.

Seventeen participants attended the April 2010 course. At the end of the course we asked for oral feedback and also distributed a questionnaire. The results of the 15 completed questionnaire can be found here (we have included all comments the complimentary, the constructive and even the one negative response). The subsequent courses will be amended to take into account the constructive comments received. |
