Rad Technician 40 hrs: Rad 103

The Technician course provides the students with an awareness of the fundamentals of radiation, health effects, recognition, and terrorist use of radiation and radiological material. HazMat technicians are given hands-on experience with radiation fields while learning the basic operation of radiation detectors and dosimeters. Students are taught how to use these instruments to conduct surveys of personnel, vehicles, facilities, and outdoor areas. The hands-on activities blend cognitive knowledge of radiation and instruments with survey techniques used in detecting the presence of radiation, locating radioactive material, and measuring levels of radiation and radiological contamination. HazMat technicians are taught operational considerations for working in high radiation areas, limiting responder radiation doses, and rescuing contaminated victims. Students form operational teams that deal with cadre evaluated, realistic drills involving the probable terrorist use of radiological material. The course culminates with an evaluation exercise requiring student teams, under a unified command, to respond to a terrorist attack that has dispersed radiological material at the target facility.
