Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation

Education

Courses offered by the Department put considerable emphasis on experimental nuclear physics and technology, personal dosimetry, environmental issues, dosimetry of nuclear power facilities, radiation metrology, applications of ionizing radiation in science, technology, medicine and other fields using radiation sources or radionuclides. Significant attention is also paid to the use of computational methods in monitoring interactions of radiation with matter and to the evaluation of biological effects of radiation based on determination of relevant dosimetric quantities.

The Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation is responsible for the following new Bachelor Programme courses

• Radiological Technology,

• Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

and for the finishing Bachelor field of study

• Dosimetry and Applications of Ionizing Radiation,

Also for the new continuation Master Programme courses

• Nuclear Engineering,

• Radiological Physics.

and Doctoral Programme courses

• Nuclear Engineering - specialisation Dosimetry and Applications of Ionizing Radiation,

• Radiological Physics,

• Nuclear Safety, Security and Forensics.

Science and Research

The Department staff are involved in solving fundamental and applied research projects both on dosimetry and radiation protection and on specialised areas of ionising radiation. Members of the Department also closely cooperate in teaching and R&D activities with other universities, research institutes in the Czech Republic as well as abroad.
