Formations sur mesure: Gestion des situations d'urgence

Personalized training courses in preparedness and response for nuclear and radiological emergencies

SCK CEN - Crisisbeheersing (2019)

Offer

Off-site nuclear emergency management has seen major advances in recent years. This includes development of improved guidance on the protection of populations in the case of a nuclear accident or radiological emergency, enhanced modeling, monitoring and decision support tools, information and data exchange and stakeholder participation. Our training courses intend to update participant’s knowledge and skills according to the latest findings in this matter.

Theoretical classes are complemented by hands-on exercises and technical visits to several SCK CEN laboratories. Group activities are organized to explore several aspects presented during the course lectures. A table-top exercise simulating a nuclear accident confronts participants with the real difficulties of decision-making in an emergency situation.

Target audience

Our courses are developed for technical and radiological advisors, staff responsible for the overall emergency organization and policy, either entering the domain or being interested in refreshing the basics and getting acquainted with latest development in the field. Master of PhD students in the fields connected to emergency management (e.g. atmospheric dispersion and deposition, dose assessment, decision-supporting tools) could also benefit from these courses.
