Protection de la santé de l'homme et de l'environnementSécurité, sûreté et environnement (MRI)

This module addresses the various aspects of controlling human exposure to ionizing radiation and environmental contamination. This module begins with a presentation of radiobiological protection which introduces in particular the principles and standards in this field and defines the different sizes used. The various means of radiation detection and characterization are then presented. The environmental impact, the treatment of abnormal radiological situations and the ALARA principle are discussed at the end of the module.

A second part deals with the design and dimensioning of the cold source, with associated environmental issues.
