| Summary: |
This book is aimed at Health Physicists wishing to gain a better understanding of the principles and practices associated with a light water reactor (LWR) radiation protection program. Â The role of key program elements is presented in sufficient detail to assist practicing radiation protection professionals in improving and strengthening their current program. Â Details related to daily operation and discipline areas vital to maintaining an effective LWR radiation protection program are presented. Â Programmatic areas and functions important in preventing, responding to, and minimizing radiological incidents and the importance of performing effective incident evaluations and investigations are described. Elements that are integral in ensuring continuous program improvements are emphasized throughout the text. |
