Radioactive Source Simulator for Radioprotection Training

In many training, the simulation becomes essential. For example, in firearms training or aircraft pilots training and even in medical procedures [1], the simulation for training is very useful, so the principle is very well established.
We have many reasons for the use of simulation: to reduce cost; technological difficulty in providing training without a simulator; to reduce strain on the trainee. We have a more specific reason in the case of radiation protection training, where ionizing radiation sources are necessary: the environment of the trainee is fundamentally hazardous and international regulations forbid any unnecessary exposure of staff [2] – even during training. A further difficulty in detection training with real radiation sources is the amount of bureaucracy required to move sources to field exercise areas.
The SEINS developed a system for simulation of the use of radiation monitors.Referências
