(NT Council Materials Education, 2016) Zeyrek, C. Tuğrul; Akbıyık, Hayri; 0000-0001-6744-7841; TAEK-ANAEM
Industrial radiography that uses both X-ray and gamma radiation are common widespread techniques of inspecting materials for hidden flaws. No matter what regulatory infrastructure is used, individual industrial radiographers are the most likely group of exposed workers to receive doses up to approaching relevant acceptable dose limits. In Turkey, the usage of ionizing radiation in industry is growing day by day in parallel with the technical developments in Turkey. This paper summarizes the Turkish experience in radiation protection (RP) education and training (E&T) in industrial radiography, regulatory requirements and the feedback obtained from various RP actions. The aim of this study is to provide a structural description of the course modules that are addressed to qualified experts, industrial radiographers and radiation protection officers (RPOs). The modules are mainly dedicated to radiation protection applications in industrial radiography. Assessment of this course also points out the benefits and inconveniences of pedagogical approaches in the Radiation Protection domain.
