The Course “Detection, Dosimetry and Protection from Ionizing Radiation” is being held for members of the armed forces from eight countries at the CBRN Training Center in Kruševac this week.
Members of the CBRN services from the armed forces of Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Italy, Hungary, the United States of America, Slovenia and Spain are undergoing training in order to learn how to perform specific tasks when exposed to ionizing radiation.
During the five-day training activity, in specialized study rooms and during practical exercises, the participants practice using means for detection and dosimetry, techniques for measuring and identifying sources of ionizing radiation, assessing the effects of radiation on biological systems and how to apply basic protection measures.
