GEX Dosimetry Workshops

2010 GEX Workshop Course Schedule:

March 30 - April 1 (Tuesday - Thursday)

September 14-16 (Tuesday - Thursday)

The three-day GEX Dosimetry Workshops combine lectures and hands-on training to provide complete training in all aspects of dosimetry. The Workshops reflect the latest industry practices, including the newly revised ISO 11137 Radiation Sterilization standard and other newly published or revised ISO/ASTM dosimetry standards. Participants acquire the necessary knowledge and tools to successfully establish, manage, and optimize an industrial radiation dosimetry program. Participants can achieve a superior working knowledge of current industry methods and practices and learn how to apply and use ISO/ASTM dosimetry guides and practices. Participants are given a compendium notebook containing related technical articles and application protocol documents. They also receive a formal certificate for successful completion of the Workshop. The courses are intended for radiation equipment providers, application specialists, technicians, quality control, management and regulatory personnel. Smaller groups are used to cover application specific dosimetry situations.

The workshops address all aspects of an industrial dose measurement program with hands-on training exercises and covers topics on how to:

• Define dosimetry lab requirements
• Specify and select equipment and dosimeters
• Install and maintain dose measurement equipment
• Develop and implement required protocols
• Calibrate routine dosimeter batches
• Maintain batch calibrations
• Measure dosimeters and determine dose
• Dose map the irradiator facility
• Dose map products
• Prepare reports and analyze the dose measurement results
• Use, manage and archive dose measurement data
