[295855] Obtaining the Radiation Protection Supervisor Registration to work in Research and Development laboratories and low-risk radioactive facilities in Brazil from the Postgraduate Educational Course in Radiation Protection and the Safety of Radiation Sources
Autores: Fernando Barcellos Razuck
Resumo: The Postgraduate Educational Course (PGEC) in Radiation Protection and the Safety of Radiation Sources, is offered since 2011, in Brazil, by the Institute of Radiation Protection and Dosimetry (IRD), in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). With workload of 472 hours/class, was designed to meet the needs of professionals with higher education to work in the field in portuguese-speaking countries. Despite the high qualification of the course and the graduate having the title of Specialist in Brazil, this title is still not recognized as a professional qualification by the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN). In this sense, this work aims to demonstrate the process of obtaining the registration of individuals to act as a Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) in Research and Development laboratories (R&D) and low-risk radioactive facilities by a former student from PGEC´s Brazil, based on the CNEN NN 6.01 and NN 7.01 Standards. The relevance of this work is to train professionals in radiation protection, not only to occupy the space in companies focused on this area, as collaborators, but also to become multipliers. It’s understood that the PGEC`s Brazil is of great importance important for R&D institutions that use radioactive material, given the lack of qualified professionals.
