Training of staff to respond to radiological incidents and nuclear emergencies is required to ensure that the Agency can respond effectively. To enhance the in-house training programme a series of paper based training modules will be produced which will allow the Agency:
<ul> <li>
To provide a structured training course for new team members
<li>To increase the speed of training
<li>To consolidate the training of existing team members
<li>To reduce the resources required from existing staff in giving training
<li>To use its resources more effectively</ul>
The project will lead to the development of 6 training modules covering the following topics:
<ul><li>
Overview of Technical and Policy issues
<li> Assessment
<li>spheric Dispersion Modelling
<li>ping a Sampling Strategy
<li>of a Geographical Information System
<li>Recovery Issues</ul><p>
Each module will be based on current published guidelines for multi-agency response to a nuclear emergency and reflect current practices and legislation.
The final deliverable will be in the form of six ready to use paper based workbooks.
