RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Texas State Technical College

Toolkit Description:
RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Texas State Technical College is from the RCNET Comprehensive Teaching Toolkit: Radiation Protection which is drawn from curriculum taught in the Associate in Applied Science with a Major in Radiation Protection Technology program at Aiken Technical College, the Radiation Protection concentration at Chattanooga State Community College, the Nuclear Technology program at Columbia Basin College, the Radiation Protection Curriculum Project at the University of Missouri, and the program in Radiation Protection Technology at Texas State Technical College. This RCNET Toolkit is organized into five sections: Aiken Technical College, Chattanooga State Community College, Columbia Basin College, University of Missouri, and Texas State Technical College. 

Toolkit Course Contents: 
RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Texas State Technical College includes materials from several courses offered in the Radiation Protection Technology Associate of Applied Science program. These include Radiation Detection Measurements II, Radiation Protection III, and Radioactive Waste Disposal and Management.

Materials available as part of the Teaching Toolkit include 22 lab activities, 2 syllabi, and 34 PowerPoint lectures.

The 22 labs include a lab objective, materials needed, and lab procedures.

Syllabi include a course description, learning outcomes, resources, course assessments and grading scheme, and a course schedule.

34 PowerPoint lectures are included and each covers a different topic. Some topics include air sampling, solid state detectors, history of waste disposal, radioactive waste transportation, and waste sampling and verification.

For orientation purposes Air Sampling Lab.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this course. 

Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each files is included in parenthesis.
