C05034: Development of training Modules in Nuclear Emergency Response Roles

Wednesday 31 May 2006

This research project aims to produce a series of training modules that can be used to assist in training new staff and enhance skills in existing staff who may be required to respond to a nuclear emergency.

Study Duration : August 2004 – July 2005

Contractor : AEA Technology

Background

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:

To provide a structured training course for new team members
To increase the speed of training
To consolidate the training of existing team members
To reduce the resources required from existing staff in giving training
To use its resources more effectively

Research Approach

The project will lead to the development of 6 training modules covering the following topics:

Overview of Technical and Policy issues
Risk Assessment
Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling
Developing a Sampling Strategy
Use of a Geographical Information System
Recovery Issues

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.
