Establecimiento del programa de entrenamiento en protección radiológica y uso seguro de materiales radiactivos para integrantes del órgano regulador en Colombia

Abstract

The objective of the project entitled “Establishment of the Training Program in Radiation Protection and Safe Use of Radioactive Materials for Members of the Regulatory Body in Colombia” was to develop a comprehensive training course for new members and retraining for the personnel of the Grupo de Licenciamiento y Control (GLyC) of the Servicio Geoloógico Colombiano (SGC). To achieve this, the courses of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Energy, Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT) were used as a basis, complemented with an exhaustive review of regulatory and technical documents. The training program was structured in modules that addressed fundamental concepts of radioactivity, current Colombian regulations, analysis of regulatory procedures, evaluation of procedures and the safe use of radiation measuring devices. The results included the creation of didactic materials to support the training process, the design of evaluation strategies and the establishment of guidelines for the continuous updating of the program.
