RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Chattanooga State Community College

Toolkit Description:
RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Chattanooga State Community 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: Chattanooga State Community College includes materials from several courses offered in the Radiation Protection Concentration program. These include Radiological Aspects of Reactor Designs, Radiation Protection and Radiological Health Administration, Radiation Chemistry and Biology, Nuclear Seminar, Nuclear Physics, Introduction to Health Physics and Industrial Hygiene, Health Physics, and Applications in Radiation Protection. 

Materials available as part of the Teaching Toolkit include instructor notes, 41 PowerPoint lectures, and eight syllabi. 

Instructor notes include training objectives, training aids, training materials, and references; some notes include a lesson introduction and body.

Syllabi are included from eight different courses and provide a course description, textbooks and materials, learning outcomes, course objectives, assessment, topics, course delivery format, and college and instructor policies.

41 PowerPoint lectures are included and each covers a different topic. Some topics include Radioactive Materials Handling and Accountability; Construction, Inspection, and Use of Containments; Nuclear Power Plant Orientation; and Sources of Radiation to the General Public.

For orientation purposes Application in Radiation Protection.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this course.
