• Applications for the program can be submitted through a dedicated form on the website.

Requirements for Radiation Work

To engage in radiation work, individuals must meet the following requirements:

• Receive education and training
• Undergo a special health examination
• Continuously measure radiation exposure while working in the radiation-controlled area

Special Considerations

Individuals who have received education and training at other universities or facilities may be exempt from part of the education and training program at the Radiation Safety Management Center, subject to the judgment of the radiation handler.
