Lecture
This lecture covers the basic concepts of radiation protection, including the interaction of radiations with matter, the concept of dose, absorbed, equivalent, and effective doses, and the origin of an average annual effective dose. It also discusses radionuclides in the environment, radiation shielding, and the introduction to nuclear engineering. The lecture delves into the specific ionization of alpha particles, the energy deposition of beta particles, and the interaction of photons with matter. It explains the various dosimetric quantities related to radiation protection and includes exercises on absorbed dose and the biological effects of radiation.
